Is there any way to get reasonable pain relief with severe Crohn's disease?

I have very severe pain on a relatively frequent basis, about 2 episodes a month.  I am on humira and it seems to be helping all the other symptoms but the pain.  My gi doc only ever offers antispasmodic meds.  The pain I am feel IS NOT cramping...believe me I know what cramping is.  Not sure what to do.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Before you ask I know it's not an obsruction...everything is working fine in that department since they increased my humira dosage about 2 and a half months ago.

I meant specific carbohydrate diet (SCD). :)

Check out the specific carbohydrate  (SCD). I found out about this diet on YouTube (Crohn's boy). He started SCD and he got rid of his symptoms and could stop taking medication.

Looks like this got posted in the wrong board.  Sorry. Kinda thought it was a general medical issue thing from the thread I was reading when I hit join.
