Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: severe pain. someone please help

You poor thing. This sounds like one of my attacks. I can spend hours in the toilet in awful pain and I usually end up with D but it can take AGES to arrive. In the meantime I feel feverish and nauseus. I'm not sure what the "other flour" was in your cake but if it was wheat maybe you have a wheat intolerance?
Otherwise I'm not much help on what might have caused the attack. Are you suffering from D or are you a C?
If you're a D I usually take an immodium when I feel an attack coming on (get advance, the simethicone helps with the pain) and I also have 2 buscopan to help with the cramps. And of course my ever faithful hot water bottle. Get plenty of rest, if you're on Heather's diet stick to the what to eat when you can't eat anything diet and I hope you feel better soon. I totally understand where you're at. I'm still suffering (although feeling marginally better since seeing my naturopath) and I've had it since I was a kid. It got even worse when I turned about 15 and by 18 my weight was all over the place depending on how many attacks I was having.
Tell me a bit more about what you're eating and what supplements or meds you're taking and I'll see if I can come up with anything else to help you out. Oh and feel free to email me if you want amyemadden@hotmail.com any support or just some sympathy. Hope this helps a bit and I'll check on this post soon.
