<FontFamily><param>Arial</param><smaller>If the intestinesare attached to the peritoneum oranother abdominal organ, the peristalsis of the intestinesWILL "pull" and thus cause pain that can be described as being a "burning" pain.
Helen, you have put your finger on it. My problems begin with that burning pain. It seemed so strange, but each time I had burning -- very much a very bad sunburn deep in the abdomen -- it was followed by sharp pain that got worse. Often an episode of vomiting or diarrhea, accompanied by lots and lots of gas (upper and lower) would ease the pain.
I began to identify acute attacks by the burning, but didn't know why.
