yeah, I have IBS and a gluten and casein intolerance... Unfortunately, a gluten flare up triggers more bouts of IBS panic...
Drug/Supplement wise:
l-glutamine seems to help, as do beta blockers (propanolol) and the occasional ativan....
Of course, a good dose of probiotics like the vsl-3 mentioned above, or Bio K+ makes a large difference...
New-age crap:
now... I never was into the 'new age'/homeopathic type ideas, but there's some 'self-hypnosis'/guided mediation that IBS people swear of called 'IBS Audio Program 100'. I haven't had huge results from it (day 70ish), but I think it's helped a little... Tried it as a last resort...
Many, many people love it...
