Have you talked to your Dr about some medication options? I have severe IBS-D, and one thing that helps me *SO MUCH* is narcotic pain killers. Percocets work very well, but near impossible to get a prescription for... Another that has helped me leave the house and stay over 100 pounds is Emtec (not sure what the US name will be... its like tylenol 3 but without the caffeine... which we all know is a trigger that us IBS-D folks do not need! It's no miracle cure... but for when you suffer so badly, its priceless. The constipating side effect and pain relief will let you be cramp free and not have to stay within 5 feet of the bathroom. I've run the gambit myself with meds and various suppliments, things like immodium, lomotil, antispasmotics (buscopan, dicatel etc) sometimes work, but never for long. As well, I've had a lot of luck with having some xanax on hand... take a half of a pill and helps soothe your nerves while you sip peppermint tea in the bathroom haha. The codeine may be helpful to regulate your body while you work with the natural supliments, dietary changes etc to slowly regain control over your IBS.
