Unfortunately, no one knows what causes the pain other than IBSers being over sensitive to bowel motion, gas, etc and prone to bowel spasms.

Peppermint caps seem to relieve the pain for some. I don't find them effective for my pain. I have been experimenting with 3 mg melatonin taken at bedtime with some success. If you decide to try melatonin make sure you find a melatonin supplement that contains pure melatonin with no additives. The sublingual melatonin tends to have additives.
