Sleep and Yoga!!!!! I've been diagnosed recently so am still wrestling with the whole diet thing. And, I have always had bad periods - the pain wipes me out. The first couple of days of each cycle I get 1-2 attacks. I drink Peppermint, Fennel, Chamomile, Catnip (listed in Heather's IBS book), and St. John's Wort Tea; use a heating pad and take extra strength Tylenol. BUT, the most helpful thing I do is sleep a lot more than usual (naps included)and keep up with my yoga (3 times per week). This makes me feel stronger. I also baby myself and try to avoid stressful situations - staying home reading, doing quiet things. This helps, but no magic pill yet....If YOU find one, let us know?
