Yes, it'll be like having a Jacuzzi.

Try a hot bath for wind

Hi sillygrandma. Fortunately not the runs type. Think that would be more embarrassing to live with. But (so so so sorry to say this!) I do have smelly wind. When I am at home I can blame it on the old cat who has recently decided to live here, who does actually have a wind problem. Awkward when I am at work though.???

Have you tried Buscopan?
It's available over the counter, and it helps with stomach cramps and spasms caused by IBS.

Could it be something different this time?

Does anyone have any suggestions for immediate relief from IBS? I had a flare up two weeks ago. It lasted for about ten days then I thought it had subsided but last night I was right back to the beginning again. It usually starts in my right hand side as a stabbing pain before my stomach swells up like I am pregnant and it feels like hundreds of tiny sharp needles are stabbing all over my innards and I have sharp back pains. This attack was different in that it started in my left side back. I don't want to go on the Fodmap diet as it is so restrictive and I don't suffer from IBS constantly. But when I do have an attack it lasts for days and days. I just need ideas for instant relief. Thank you
