IBS D: If you didn't have irritable bowel type symptoms until only for a month, I recommend that you submit a fresh stool specimen for culture to check for pathogenic bacteria, parasites and eggs. If this is negative, then try the low fodmap diet. If the newer IBS medication is unaffordable, taking old fashioned dicyclomine 1/2 hour after meals may ameliorate your symptoms appreciably.
