For about a week/week and a half now everything I eat causes very bad cramps not half an hour later. It happens with bread lunches as well as hot dinners, a full plate or a simple sandwich and even soup. It's making work rather uncomfortable because I can't go to the loo straight away, the cramps (type 'bend over double it hurts a lot') even if I try and I can hardly excuse myself from class every ten minutes.
I don't have any other symptoms, no nausea, no headaches, I drink a fair bit of water and milk. For about a three weeks now I've changed from Citalopram to Redomex antidepressants, I hear they're first generation and heavy on the side effects, could this be it or is it a very strange stomach bug?

Why are you on antidepressants anyway? Could be irritable bowel syndrome. If you are stressed/depressed you get a whole range of symptoms anyway because of how you're feeling. I would love to talk to you more about this in detail if you want to email. I was on citalopram. I would guess that if you had side affects you would have more likely diarrhoea not cramps but always best to ask the Doctor. Read the leaflets that come with the pills I always do.

I'd go to whoever prescribed the pills and get yourself checked out!
