I suffer from IBS and I am at work at the moment and I don't usually have lunch due to the pain I have due to eating and gurgling from my stomach.
However I'm working extra today so I popped out and got a cheese and onion pasty from the bakers and now i'm crippled in pain.
I have no pain killers on me and I feel faint, any tips?

any milk around?
have a glass to settle the acids
if not drink a LOT of water to dilute the fats from the pasty, and try and keep your legs up
can you not get out to boots?
silly billy for having such fatty foods and no pills!

I get the very same thing, a cheese & onion pasty was completely the wrong thing to have, as I'm sure you now know!
Peppermint is good, even sucking a mint might help. I personally wouldn't keep my legs up, it makes it worse for me, try drinking water as suggested, and then perhaps try to walk around a bit. Everyone is different so its difficult, hoe it get better!

You should try Enzymatic Therapy's Peppermint Plus, and probiotics to help find relief from your condition. Three references that may also give you good ideas and suggested remedies, are:
Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine - Murray and Pizzorno
Prescription For Natural Cures - Balch & Stengler
Digestive Wellness - Elizabeth Lipski
Good luck and God bless!

Why would you eat stuff that is hard work for a healthy system but you may need medical help, hope you get past this and think about taking your own lunch to work

The best thing I find are peppermint oil tablets or peppermint tea. Failing that, try having some boiled water, but obviously wait till its cool enough to drink!

You should try some peppermint oil pills - they help settle my husband's IBS problems.

Drink a glass of water to help dilute your stomach acids and aid digestion.

No milk! IBS doesnt like milk. If you really dont have anything then drink lots of water but not iced
