Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Things had been going great for the last few weeks with the diet and my body finally acting somewhat normal until two days ago when my period started and I had severe cramping. I took the ibuprophen, my SF and was sipping on peppermint tea to try and calm my stomach and the cramping. My system began switching from C to D and back again. The BM became very strained and almost painful, and of course I found out now that I have hemmorohids as a result of hte straining. I tried eating chex and drinkin tea just to keep something in my system, but no appetite made it harder to just try and do that. I haven't slept really in the last two days (about 5 hours total) and just a few minutes ago the cramps were so bad that I started dry heaving. I am still trying to sip water, but any advice until I can get in to see the doctor this morning? I am really starting to worry and want to sleep but just can't with the pain from the cramps and roids. Any advice would be appreciated since the next 5 hours look really long.
