Yes, I've experienced that kind of pain that feels like menstrual cramps with IBS. Boy is that not fun! I also find that during my periods is one of the times when the IBS can flare up for me. Especially when I'm having menstrual cramps. It can really trigger the IBS symptoms for me. The one thing I've found that will ease the cramping (besides taking Pamprin or something like it) is using the heating pad. That can calm down the spasms and help.
