HI,
I am from the United States and I wanted the names of any medications you know of or take for IBS and abdominal/stomach pain. I have read about some that are from other countries...(like Buscopan or Colpermin can they be purchased in the US?)
Please list any medications that help IBS that are in the US! thank you so much

Anti-spasmotics. I can't remember the names right at this moment.

I have IBS and take Citrucel powder everyday and it completely cured my problem. My doctor recommended trying it before trying medications. I no longer have any IBS episodes and can finally live my life again. It's worth a shot. I know it has helped a lot of people. Also try not drinking carbonated drinks. That can trigger it. I know from experience.

I had that for a while but it was linked to stress and when my lifestyle changed it sorted itself out. Was never convinced colofac worked for me. But if you are taking anti-diahroea tablets all the time your body will 'forget' what is normal. Seriously consider experimenting with diet in a systematic way, look at your stress levels and try not to rely on the tablets or reduce the dose on days it matters less. Has your Dr ruled out coeliac disease? I know very little about it but know the 2 can be confused at the diagnostic stage.
