Can Medicines Releive Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

Source | American Gastroenterological Association 

There is no standard way of treating IBS. Your doctor may prescribe over-the-counter fiber supplements or occasional laxatives if you are constipated, or may prescribe over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medicine if you are suffering from diarrhea. Your doctor may also prescribe other treatment programs to help relieve your symptoms and reduce the effects of IBS on your lifestyle.
