I have been stable for almost 3 months but I ALWAYS have symptoms a couple days before my period and during the whole week of it. It's especially bad the first two days. I get insanely nauseous, have terrible D, no appetite (but I still force myself to eat bananas, toast, crackers, rice, basically everything on the BTC diet), and terrible cramps. A heating pad helps, and peppermint tea, but nothing completely relieves the pain or nausea, at least not for me, but I can't take painkillers because I'm allergic to NSAID's and haven't found anything else that helps. Tylenol doesn't do a thing for me.

Adrianna, IBS-D, stable since May 2007, living life to the fullest because of it!
