I'm so sorry Trish. I know that any sort of pressure on my stomach or chest is uncomfortable if I'm in the middle or starting an attack. If you think you're body is fairly empty of food, you can do 1/2 c lemon juice 1/2 c olive oil, shake it up to mix it really well. Then chug it and immediatly lay on your right side with your right knee up to your chest as tight as you can. No guarantee it will help, but it helped me last time.
you get through this and are able to feel better.
Also, after my last attack, I've been juicing 10 lb of green apples a day and have felt MUCH better, actually, symptom-free.

PS: And yes, cheese could have triggered it. For me, it's the cadbury eggs. I had to switch to the mini ones. And I can only have ONE a day.
