Personally I am a believer of virgin coconut oil and the medium chain fatty acids that were a very supportive food while I was healing from multiple digestive disorders and on a highly restricted diet that was killing me. It also balanced my blood sugar levels, so its was a big discovery that really helped me on my journey. I am a little cynical of the IBS diagnosis - it seems to be the doctor's way of saying, "Gosh we don't really know what is wrong with you", which is at best demoralizing and at worst useless for helping to turn it around. "Melt" is a new butter substitute that is made with virgin coconut oil and flax seed oil (among others) - a great combination for digestive inflammation. It's really rich and creamy and adds a great taste to low heat-cooking (e.g., frying up eggs). I have tried just about all of them (Brummel and Brown, I Can't Believe [How Bad This Tastes], Smart Balance, etc), and this is the best one I have found. Melt is also organic, high in Omega 3s and medium chain fatty acids (the good fats), and no artificial colors, additives, or weird chemicals so common to margarine and other butter substitutes (and that cause IBS to some extent as well, specifically hydrogenated oils). They are going soy-free mid-2011 as well.
