Members shared a variety of remedies for easing severe IBS stomach pain, with peppermint emerging as the most popular solution whether consumed as tea, oil capsules, or candies to relieve spasms and bloating. Many members recommended using heating pads or warm water bottles combined with lying in a fetal position on the left side, while others found relief through prescription medications like Mebeverine for muscle relaxation and Buscopan for cramping. A recurring theme was the importance of finding what works for your individual body through trial and error, managing stress triggers, eating smaller meals, and seeking medical help when pain becomes unbearable.

Heating pad, pillow on tummy and lay on your left side in the fetal position. Or try an epsom salt bath first to try to relax. If the pain is too much go to a freestanding ER if you can.

I thought so, I have gone back to taking loperamide every morning, but if i am going to eat out a have a dose Mebverine. I have also recognised that stress triggers it. Smaller meals has also been helpful.

Mine usually somewhat calms down with Bentyl for the spasms and Tigan for nausea. I haven't found anything yet that works for gas and gurgly stomach. :-/
