Anybody’s IBS consist of mostly pain?

I do get some diarrhea during intense flare-ups, but my condition is mostly pain. I get periods of months where I’ll get diffuse abdominal pain randomly that can last up to 10 days with little to no relief. Absolutely nothing seems to help when I’m in the midst of a flare. It just stops about as randomly as it came and I have never been able to identify triggers.

Some days I wish I wouldn’t wake up. It’s life-altering to live this way. It’s the rollercoaster too. Being good for months and then bam, months of abdominal pain.
