So you guys don't get pain in the middle of the night? I was certain many people did. My IBS does not care if the sun is up or not, it moves when it wants to and I so far have no control over the timing of it. I used to use a little massage board under my back before I go to sleep (for tight back and shoulders) but I quit doing that since it seem to start the instestinal movement and sometimes cause me to wake up at night also. I am useless at work in the daytime when I get my sleep interrupted at night.

Have you tried sleeping with a heating pad on your belly? I'm usually crampy in the evenings rather than in the middle of the night, but a heating pad really helps with those. On the bad nights, I keep it on all night and it makes me feel a whole lot better.

Sometimes one of the cats comes in and sits on top of the heating pad - the extra heat feels good, but sometimes the extra 10 lbs does not!
