So I have seen a doctor and trawled the internet with no luck and now I seek sage advice from Pistonheads:

A few hours (6 or so) after eating chicken on SOME occasions (perhaps once a year/18 months) I get crippling stomach cramps which comes in waves, it will wake me up at night and I will sweat from the pain which is centred at the bottom of my sternum. It ONLY happens after eating chicken and eating will make it disappear in minutes but only for a while. I don't believe it is food poisoning related as eating makes it stop and it will then go on for a week or two before subsiding. There is no D or V but it feels like either would help!
Dr suggested anti-acid medication which did not touch it.
NSAIDs do not touch it.
I thought H. pylori but why the chicken relationship?

Yes, I know - I could avoid chicken but I'd rather know the cause and fix it!

Any thoughts?

Nope, don't do spicey. Even some Kormas have blown my head off (I know: what a p*ssy!)
I can and will eat anything though as long as it is not spicey and the only allergy I have is to cats (Perhaps it was not really chicken!!)

Jesus Condor that sucks! Hope the prognosis is more promising.
Thought your name was familiar- was just reading about cooking pheasant!
