I call myself D predominant, but I think I'm probably, truly, an A.
I swing to the C side, which causes a different kind of bloating and cramping, straining, marbles, etc. However, it's easier for me to resolve the C by getting in more IF foods and taking an SFS.
Unfortunately, the D and the pain with it takes a lot more focus on eating mostly SF foods and avoiding all triggers, so that's why I say I'm just a D. D attacks tend to be the worst for me.
To help both, I drink strong peppermint or chamomile tea after meals, use heat packs, take Imodium as needed, Benefiber (although I've slacked off on this big time), and I try to stay on schedule with eating and sleeping.
