Hi there,
I don't have a lot to add because I too am IBS-D and I think pain management might be different (I'd be in agony if I took stool softeners!) so I am not entirely sure what advice to give.
I did want to reply, though, so that you know that we are here to support you and be here for you to vent to and to offer any help we can, whenever you need it.
I know how exhausting dealing with chronic pain is, and how devestating it can feel. It is very hard to go from one day to the next, not knowing how your body will feel. Please don't give up, though... there are limitless amounts of things and combinations of things to try, and you mean to much to someone I'm sure to just give up!
As for pain predominant IBS, I know that Heather (of this site) has pain predominant IBS. If you post on the Eating for IBS board for her attention, maybe, she might have some more helpful advice than I do. I know that she swears by peppermint capsules to help with the pain, have you tried that? What about diet? Are you on any sort of SFS? Have you tried any alternative therapies like accupressure/accupuncture or yoga or hypnosis?
Good luck, let us know how you are doing, we'll be waiting for updates!!
