Hello,
I feel for your pain. There is a lot to learn in this diet and to have to keep starting over is frustrating, especially every 28 days! I have lots more problems during my PMS time and during my period. The pains during my period sound exactly like yours-pain, bloating, need to have a bm, etc. I try to be so careful (unbelievably careful) the whole week before my period and not eat any foods that bother me. Same thing during my period; tons of bread, pasta, rice, cereal, and almost no veggies. I use a hot water bottle every night and Heat Wraps everyday (the adhesive kind). If you haven't tried ThermaCare HeatWraps, give them a try. The heat seems to really relax the tummy. I take Motrin/Tylenol throughout the whole period.
I don't know if this is doing any good to help you. I hope so! I wonder if, because all of us with IBS consume so much SF, if our intestine is so full that it gets compressed inside our tummies during period time when "girlie" parts are inflamed and swollen. Before IBS, my tummy was very swollen during period time, and sensitive to the touch. Now it is even worse.
Good luck to you  MeiMei
