I am from South Africa. I had a flare-up for about three weeks. I was in tears every day. I went to by GP last week - again in tears. He prescribed the following: IBERGAST which is a natural of alternative medicine, LIBRAX and PREGABALIN. I'm using it from last week Thursday and after three days I could feel the difference. The running stomach stopped and the pain is gone. Maybe it would work for someone else.
