Fasting is not a good idea. It's best to eat small, safe snacks throughout the day to give your colon something to "grip" onto, and keep the pain and spasms at bay. Heather explains this in The First Year. Plus, it's very unhealthy. Your body needs food to function properly.

You are better off following Break the Cycle.. Try drinking peppermint tea for the pain, and any warm tea in general will help. The heat helps the muscles relax, which should make you feel better. Also, a heating pad can help too.

Hope you feel better soon.
