I am on Bentyl - which is anti-spasmodic. It works very well for me. It is a perscritption though - so you will have to go to your doc.

Do you mostly have diarrhea or are you constipated. Zelnorm is only for constipation. There is a supplement called IBS Advantage you can buy at walmart or most other places it's available. Other wise probiotics or fiber would help.

I have been told to increase my fiber intake, I do take Levsin which is a prescription med, but you can try Imodium also. In IBS you can have it with or without diahhrea so its according to your symptoms what type of med you should take. Consult your doc about it.

I would say go see the movie Cars and order extra large nachos with extra cheese and jalepenos. Nothing better than jalepenos streaming through your diarrhea. It will sting, but you will know you are alive.
