Accepted Answer

Individualize diet: There is no specific exclusion diets for ibs, although many patients have difficulty tolerating water insoluble fibers, excessive dietary fats, fizzy drinks, & bowel stimulants (caffeine).

Accepted Answer

None: In order to cure a disease, doctors first need to know cause.  Cause of ibs is unknown.  Donnatal (phenobarbital atropine hyoscyamine and scopolamine) & Bentyl are prescription medications with known efficacy.

There is no easy repair for this biomechanical problem.
