Woo, prostaglandins. They're what give you the shits and the cramps.
Try ibuprofen--it reduces the production of prostaglandins. Sounds odd to take ibuprofen for bowel trouble, but it works. I have the same problem, plus horrible menstrual cramps for the first three days. I alternate between using Midol and ibuprofen. I also get cramps at the tops and insides of my thighs. Ugh. I'm thankful for birth control--my periods are bad, but they would be far worse without it!
