Is it normal for the cramps to disappear after eating?

I have been diagnosed as suffering from IBS by a consultant and had te usual list of recommendations to minimise the discomfort. I have been prescibed Audomonal but cannot detect any relief from the tablets however when I am having the pains they seem to begin mid-morning and increase until I have something to eat which regularly eases the pain. This seems to be the same scenario during the afternoon but when I have discussed this with my doctor he is at a loss. The problem is that tight clothing adds to the discomfort and eating too much causes weight gain. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.

I'm not familiar with that personally, tight clothes are an issue for me and I have to eat at the same times every day or I suffer. To be perfectly honest everyone's experience is different so the word normal doesn't really apply. If the tablets aren't working try different ones as its trial and error. I take loperamide, alverine and buscopan three times a day and its helped massively.
