This guy, Dr Mercola, is always streets ahead of the rest, you get info from him 7 years before it appears on the main news. I've been reading his info since back in the day. Also as a general rule keep away from drugs if possible; capitalism wants repeat customers not a cure
Here's what he says on IBS

To battle IBS, you need to focus on what you are eating and how you are living. A few steps could get you and your intestines back on track:
Make better food choices. Pay careful attention to removing grains and sugars as they typically feed bad bacteria and gluten in particular can cause serious intestinal inflammation in many individuals.
If you have problems with the frequency of your bowel movements please consider purchasing some organic flax seeds and grind 2 to 6 tablespoons fresh in a coffee grinder and consume it. It is full of alpha linolenic acid which will balance the omega 3 oils in cod liver or fish oil, but more importantly flax has water soluble fibers like lignans that will decrease diarrhea or improve constipation as these types of fibers are bowel movement normalizers. Freshly ground flax seed is a far better option than psyllium or Metamucil
Eating for your metabolic type will get your body to operate at its optimum level.
Add coconut oil and coconut to your diet. Coconut oil has been shown to play a role in soothing inflammation and healing injury in the digestive tract. Its antimicrobial properties also promote intestinal health by killing troublesome microorganisms that may cause chronic inflammation.
In my experience, there usually is an underlying emotional stress or anxiety associated with IBS patients. EFT is an excellent tool to address this stress. Learn more about it by reading my free manual.
