Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I suffer with terrible with PMS a week or more sometimes before my period. I used to be on the Pill for years and wouldnt suffer this bad. I went off a year ago since I had been on them so long and was on some other meds that made the pill ineffective anyway. I never knew how bad my sypmtoms were until being off of it. I can chart it like clockwork. If its not my regualr Ibs its this so my whole month is usually all messed up between the 2.
It flares up the IBS and Im miserable all around. I have considered going back on Birth control to help but Im so concerned about more side effects. Please anyone else suffer from horrible PMS. Mine include headache/migraines/ Nausea/ bloating/ breast tenderness/ cramps/ Nausea/ cranky / tired/ backache and Loose bowels accompanied by IBS attacks at times.. Any suggestions for Relief that will not upset our stomaches Im desperate!!!

Oh and Im also on Bipolar meds and have anxiety and panic disorder.. YEP IM A MESS...
