Is there any thing i can do to lessen pain of ibs spasms once the spasm starts and is going to painfully run its coarse? any suggestions or helpful hints or is this just the cold hard pain we have to go through every time?????

The doctors told me that since pain is my major symptom, not diarrhea or constipation, the drugs aren't going to help much. He was right. I have taken Donnatol, Bentyl, Nu Lev and Immodium as well as Vicodin for severe pain. It maybe dulls the pain just a bit. But, if my intestines want to cramp, they will cramp no matter what I took.The docs told me I am just going to have to let it "run it's course" and some day maybe the severity of this disease will let up....I wish.
