Spirit I understand. I also have irritable bowel syndrome. My doctor prescribed Clindex, Bentyl, and Levsin. I've been able to control mine with my diet, and adding a digestive aide whenever I eat. It's made a big difference for me. Clindex was the best, because it is antianxiety and spasm med. all in one. The Bentyl and Levin are also good meds. but not for my system. I wish you the best.
