I was also diagnosed with ibs and was given Ibuprofen, which did nothing. What helped me was having 1/2 a freshly squeezed lemon at night with 1/2 a glass of warm water; drinking 6-8 glasses of water during the day (but not with food); cutting out hard-to-digest foods eg seeds, pips, gluten; having coldpressed virgin olive oil (2tsp with meal); and having a colonic (with an experienced and recommended practioner). Hope this info helps. Liesa
