I can not drink anything that is cold or has ice in it? If I do my stomach starts to knot up and I get sick. If I drink water(that's all I can drink now) then it feels like it is swishing around in my stomach and I start feeling sick. I have to take small sips - does anyone else have this issue? I go days with just eating crackers and sipping water so I don't get too weak. Any advise???

You're right. Cold drinks should be avoided. Drink warm tea if you have IBS-D. Also watch your sodium intake. Too much can also cause abdominal cramping. See if you can substitute sweet potatoes instead of crackers. I bake a cookie sheet full of sweet potatoes each week and just take them to work and munch on them when I'm hungry. Yams are good too and it's just the season for them now.
