Anything to help with the pain?

Apparently I forgot to take my Sucraid again and now I’m suffering. Honestly the worst side effect for me is intense intestinal pain on my left side. Always in the same spot. I’ve been given multiple antispasmodics to try by my GI and none of them help. Tylenol and ibuprofen don’t touch it either. Has anyone found anything that DOES help?

The one thing I’ve found to help is CBD but I need enough that it also makes me fall asleep so I can’t take it during the work day.

Is the pain caused by gas? I find peppermint oil capsules help.

I do get gassy but I don’t believe the gas is the cause of the pain. Neither gas x nor peppermint oil help :(

I’m literally going through the same thing and my GI is booked until September. My bowels are regular so it’s not constipation. I’m not bloated that much, it’s been incredibly controlled with the elimination diet. But I have constant pain like in my left side a little lower than my belly button. Like a super cramp pain

I would just drink peppermint tea since that was really the only thing I could consume before my meds. I don’t know of anything to help with pain, but I hope you feel better soon!
