Upping my soluble fiber and water intake as per Heather's diet really helped with my cramps, gurgling and urgent BMs. As has reducing my insluble fibre intake. Also doing yoga and power walking 20 mins a day really helps with the cramps. If I am feeling particularly bad I have a hot water bottle on my stomach or take a hot bath. I find walking and hot water bottles can have a immediate effect. Destressing is really important with IBS which is why excerise and other stress busters is important.
Peppermint tea also soothes the gut as do the pepermint caps sold on this site.
I've not taken any antispasmodic drugs but other's have found they help with cramps.
