I know how you feel too. I've suffered on and off my whole life from stomach cramps, but in the last couple of years it has become pretty much a constant. I'm not a very ladylike girl, but I still feel like it's one thing for my dad to be farty, and another for me to- it's so embarrassing and vile

I've been trying what felt like everything, and not managing to get stablized. But last week I ate nothing but rice with banana, and a little unsweetened soy milk, in tiny portions eating every two hours and my tummy completely settled down. I cannot describe how wonderful it was to not be bloated up and uncomfortable. Seriously, seriously wonderful.

I have also started making sure to be active after every meal, not drinking at all during meals and chewing everything very thoroughly- I reckon all these things help (apologise if you're already doing them). Can you try splitting your sandwich in half and eating half of it at lunch and half later? I am going to do that myself to see if it helps.

Of course today I am back to having hideous cramps, but they are period cramps, not IBS ones, so hopefully this will pass.

I know the feeling of utter despair and not being able to go on because of this.
