Does Any Of The Women Who Have Ibs Get Worse When There Monthlies Come Along?

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Manchester, UK

Every time my monthlies come. My ibs flares up more. I don't know if this is because of the period or because ibs. I get a really bad pain in the middle of my tummy feels like wind but it doesn't move. I've tried buscopan but it doesn't work. Any one else have this?

Yea it happens to me, peppermint coated tablets help for my period pain as well believe it or not, and any decaf tea for bloatedness! I'm currently on ondansentron for my ibs-d and it's much better! Research it!!

Thanks. I just asked this. Prior to period I spend alot of time running to bathroom. I know I also sometimes do not eat as healthy, cravings, but it doesn't seem to matter.
