Have you tried Hyoscyamine? I call it my "cramp pill." It works when the cramps aren't really, REALLY bad.
The doctor also prescribed Donnatal for me, knowing that I've used it very sparingly in the past. Donnatal contains Hyoscyamine (as well as other stuff, as you know). If your doctor will prescribe Donnatal, you can give it a try. I will have to say this about it: as dangerous as the drug is, it works every time. The ONLY time it didn't work for me was when my attack was so horrible I literally could not walk -- but it turned out the attack wasn't IBS but diverticulitis.
