Lisa you may laugh at my silly suggestions but i suffered the same wy you do for years. I wa young at the time and my dr actually told me my pants were to tight so instead of bloating out i would bloat up and it gives more cramps and made me throw up. No cold drinks either because that contracts the muscles. I told my friend hot chocolate helps my cramps and she laughed until she tried it ..then she said i was right. SO HOT CHOCOLATE AND LOOSE CLOTHES helped me a LOT! Silly suggestions but they worked for me.
