Q: Overactive Peristalisis

I am having severe intestinal
issues that I'm pretty sure I have
inherited from my daddy. Our
symptoms are severe abdominal
pain afer eating any meal, followed
by an immediate run to the restroom
to have a very loose, watery stool.
The pain is so severe and the only way
to describe it is like you can actually
feel the peristalisis, or intestinal
movements. I had my gallbladder
removed at the age of 18, but at
the time I was told I most likely
had IBS along with gallbladder
disease. After trying all OTC
medications, such as lactose
intolerants, the only relief we
seem to find is after drinking alcohol.
The alcohol seems to slow the
peristalisis and prevents the
rush to the restroom. I have done
a lot of research and can't seem
to find anything like we have.
I don't believe we have IBS from what
I've read, because alcohol seems
to make IBS worse. I would like
to have a diagnosis of our condition
and see if there is any other
treatment than an alcoholic drink
every night. I have also found that
a lot of bowel disorders are more common
with Jewish decent, and we do
fall under that category. SOMEBODY
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
