medicalinformal
Causing gripes, that is, sharp cramping pains in the stomach or bowels.
A gripy medicine or a gripy food is one thought to bring on colicky stomach pain, the kind of sharp, cramping ache older writers called "the gripes." The word comes directly from the noun gripe in this older bodily sense, distinct from the modern meaning of gripe as a verbal complaint. Some sources also spell the word gripey, treating both forms as equivalent.
