I know exactly what you are talking about...When my attacks are at their worst I get those same pains...it even hurt to bend over. (which with toddlers I am ALWAYS doing) It is almost like pressure from within. Keep in mind your lower intestine snakes up right under your rib cage...at least I remember that from pictures I have seen. I am going to look into coated peppermint supplements. They have a coating....like some aspirins and other meds that allow it to go through your stomach with out causing the burn. I read about them in a pharmacy q&A in our local paper. They said you can find them at healthfood stores. Check with your doc though. I don't like flavored teas so I would rather go that route. I have also been on Zelnorm for about 6 wks now and I have not had one of my bad attacks since. I am still gassy but the pains are gone so far. I am more "regular" also. Good luck. I know it is miserable.
