I think your period may be playing a HUGE roll in your most recent attack. I know just before my period, I will have MAJOR ATTACKS. They usually last all the way through, and even a couple of days after, my period. I have discused this with my GI and he told me that during menstruation our PGE2s or our inflammatory prostaglandins pump out the signals that cause inflammation and cramping in order to force our uterus to contract and perform its monthly duties. Good for the period, bad for the intestines.

Since hearing this, I am less anxiety ridden during that time of the month because I know that it will pass - eventually.
