Hey welcome to the group! of course this isn't the best group to join but theres lots of people who are really awesome on this site! What really helped me was seeing a GI (gastrointestinal doctor) she put me on the best meds ever! its called hyosctamine but you have to go see a doctor cause they got to write a percription for it. other things that might help is stress relaxation such as yoga also there are certain food that trigger IBS for example for me its carbonation so i cant have lots of soda. others could be choclate milk fruit anything but a food that does help IBS is fiber! eats lot of it! however after my first year of IBS i couldn't take it anymore so i just switched to takein benefiber!hope it helps,reezy
