IBS pain is a whole other genre of pain

Every now and then, when my intestines decide to spasm super hard, I have the most insane experiences.

One time, I got so lightheaded and nauseous from the pain that I flopped onto the floor. I was trying to get to the couch, but my vision was black. 😭 So I just fell down right next to it.

My stomach's currently in more pain than usual, so I keep getting little flashbacks to times like that one.

It genuinely feels like someone is pumping your intestines full of air in an attempt to get them to implode. I've gotten lightheaded and dizzy from the pain so many times. I can't say any other kind of pain has affected me like that. It's so weird!
