What Causes Diarrhea And Stomach Pain After Eating Particular Food?

15 mins after eating crab legs I get really sick with diarrhea, sharp pain in my stomach, nausea, dizziness, cold sweats ( I mean sweat poring from my body) and shaking. I ve eaten crab all my life. My favorit and what I eat 95% of the time when I get crabs is snow crabs. I ve only started feeling this way when I turned 20 ( I m 23 now) and it s just getting worse. Please help me. What s going on? I love crabs but am I allergic to it? Should I stop eating it? Will it kill me?

Hi.
Thank for your query.
Noted your history of eating snow crabs and having no problems till you were 20 years old. After this time you have developed diarrhea, sharp pains in stomach, nausea, cold sweats and shaking within 15 minutes of eating snow crabs.
This simply means that you have developed intolerance to the proteins or some contents in the crab meat, in another words this is an allergy in the severe form and hence you should stop eating it strictly as this can be very dangerous to your life. There are so many other stuffs that you can try and can have.
