I'm IBS-C, but during an attack, I flip to D with nausea and a different kind of cramping. I always have advance notice -- usually a hot flash, a general "blerg" feeling that is pretty specific, and a sort of specific sort of "transitional" cramping. I am working on finding better relaxation/breathing techniques, because that's the one thing always available to me, but I also carry Altoids at all times. Peppermint tea is the best remedy I've found, brewed so strong it refreshes your toes.
The WORST thing I can do is panic or get upset, as it makes the attacks last longer. Lately I'm finding that hard, as I am truly unstable for the first time in a few years. Partly that was because I let the diet slip a bit too far, but mostly it's stress and anxiety cycle-induced. I'm going back to the hypnosis CDs, which I'm ashamed to admit I never finished the first time around.

I get alot of weird symptoms...mostly in the morning when I get up (on bad days). I get a strange feeling in my chest (under my breasts)...it's not really pain, but, rather uncomfortable and I also usually start to feel dizzy. It is hard to describe and it usually lasts the morning whether I go to the bathroom once or more, the feeling stays awhile. Seems like after I get a couple meals in me (maybe things are moving through) I feel better???

Please finish the CDs. You will be amazed at the improvement. I am on my third go-round and it gets better and better. Sometimes diet is not the answer for some folks.
