Colon pain. What a misery. I wish a hot water bottle on my guts and 10 Melatonin tablets

How do you caln down the colon????

  1. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, having constant pain is so hard. While we wait for other community members to share their advice with you, I'm going to link a couple of articles about pain and pain management here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/my-strategies-abdominal-pain, https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/coping-with-physical-pain, https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/tens-machine, https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/chronic-pain. I hope this helps a bit. Karina (team member)

    1. Hi. I use a heating pad on my stomach. I think it’s more or less soothing . I use advil to help with the inflammation in my bowels. Also peppermint oil capsules.

      1. I'm a huge heating pad fan. I just wish they would get even hotter! I want that hot thing to just roast my tummy and numb these cramps! But that first initial blast, before the safety kicks in. It's a real treat, couldn't agree more 🙌 ~ Sawyer (team member)

    2. I have a hot water bottle on my belly at night.
