Hey, I've been reading your posts, don't worry if you're a little confused right now, it takes a little getting used to figuring out this IBS! Once you get into the swing of things you'll feel so much better and it helps so much to have support of people who are so understanding and are coping with the same thing as you.

This is a great comprehensive list of many of the medications that have found to be helpful for good old IBS:
