IBS treatment: Ibs can be very painful. There are many good treatments- peppermint oil as enteric-coated capsules 0.2-0.4 ml 2-3x/day , fiber (esp. Flaxseed powder), probiotics ; melatonin 2-5 mg may help. Gluten, dairy ; other food intolerances may be a factor- many do very well with the fodmap diet- see http://www.Umm.Edu/altmed/articles/irritable-bowel-000098.Htm ; http://abt.Cm/16tmrig.
