So, this isn't exactly what you're describing--but here's my experience...
Whenever I get a bad IBS attack, I get unbelievably tired. I can hardly speak due to the level of pain, and I just run back and forth to the bathroom. However, there have been *many* times when I "put myself to sleep." That's the best way to describe it. I yawn and cannot keep my eyes open. It's almost a guarantee that as soon as I can stay out of the bathroom, I am on the couch asleep. My Mom is a nurse and says it's almost like my body's defense to put myself to sleep instead of feel the level of pain. Do you also get sleepy? Or is it just yawning? Sorry if this is totally different and not helpful, but I thought I'd throw it out there for you...
Hope that helps.
