AAAAH IBS CRAMPS

I have IBS i stupidly had a takeaway tonight as it's Friday 🤷🏻‍♀️ (greasy foods kick off my IBS big time). So here I am worst cramps ever practically bent over in agony.

I take buscopan every day and I have Imodium with simeticone that normally calms down the cramps but nothing is touching it tonight. Does anyone have any tried and tested remedies? Medicines? Anything? 😭

I took a 6 month course of really high grade probiotics from planet organic. Its the type that's found in the fridge so needs refrigerating. It sorted out my IBS completely and I only very rarely get diarrhoea. It used to be constant before with horrific cramps and I hardly ate anything in case of a flare up.

Paracetamol and meberverine was the best bet for me. Not totally reliable but worked about 75% of the time. Also lying on my back with my knees bent, together, feet flat on the floor, for quite a while. Mine was vicious cramps to do with trapped wind. I've not had it for about 15 years though, so it can totally pass. I do think probiotics could be a good bet.
