I woke up at about 4 am (just a bit ago) with stomach pains, or at least it feels like it is in the stomach. The pain is around the area of my belly button and up a bit. For lack of a better explanation it really feels like someone took their fingernails and scraped the inside of my stomach. Ow! It hurts and I don't know what the deal is. I ate late last evening (11 pm) some ground beef and eggs fried up in some olive oil, plus orange juice.

Any ideas?

Thoreau,

Sorry you're feeling that way.

Any ideas?  I ate late last evening (11 pm) some ground beef and eggs fried up in some olive oil, plus orange juice.

Sounds like a case of major food miscombining to me. Mis-combining foods can create havoc and great pain, among other things.

I found a great explanation of it here:  http://cureforulcerativecolitis.com/step-1-methodology-to-eating

Maybe that you're feeling better.

Gas perhaps?

rule number zero:
never eat after 8-9 PM. let your gut rest during the night. better go to bet empty stomach than with a full belly. sometimes skipping dinner will make you sleep better.

rule number one:
never eat eggs and hard meat at night. this is a rule for healthy people also.

rule number two:
UC people should eat eggs with moderation or avoid them: just search the forum for the sulfits/sulfides threads. I've quit eggs a long time ago and was a good choice.

rule number tree:
orange juice - can be verry harmfull to a irritated colon. not for you. also it can contain alergens that can trigger a gut reaction from a person with UC. same for the eggs..

rule number four:
remember rules from number 0 to 3 :)

good luck. eat with caution for 2-3 days and it will pass for sure.

for me it would be the orange juice. lots of non-UC people have problems with acidic juices too.
My colon has no problems with eggs or meat. Meat digests very slowly so that's probably the reason.

that is kinda late for a meal I agree.

Just write it down in your food notebook so you can reference it in the future and see patterns.
