often in the past i've been able to head it off before it gets to the stage it did the other day. even when it reaches the really bad stage i can also do some things that help it go away faster. none of those worked the other day so it was just a matter of getting through it and it getting through me.
it wasn't a bug or infection or virus or food poisoning. just physical issue from gas being in the wrong place and my body reacting to that. i've been through it before so i'm glad at least that i know what is going on, but while it is going on it makes for some long minutes.
for stomach issues Mom's universal cure is to drink some Coke and eat some crackers. i skip the crackers.

later in the day i had some chocolate milk and a few Jr. Mints and some crackers and none of that bothered me.
