I have got a colonoscopy done. Diagnosed with IBS. Doctor says colon and intestine is highly irritable.

I take about 2 hours in the morning to pass stools.
Some times I have to to go in the evening again and pass some mucous.

Also if there is a stress event I get severe pain on the left side of my navel.

Is there a medicine which can help me.

I too suffer for over 30 years with IBS I'm having a flare up as I type.
I'm so sorry I totally understand you pain and suffering.
Over the years I've been through several doctors as well as several colonoscopies Their magic answer has always been IBS is a syndrome and us we don't know what to do for it so good luck and a tall shoe auditor office with some Imodium A.D. or Pepto-Bismol and that's about it .
Two years ago the doctor told me to try a probiotic called VSL#3 I took it twice a day for about a year and a half I am now one pill a day it has helped me tremendously ! I don't get monthly flareups anymore now I get them every three or four months so that's a plus ! Also when you have an attack has any doctor prescribe you. Donnatal elixir ? It's my GoTo last resort medicine, 2 tablespoons full usually does the trick for me !
Ask your DR about both good luck I'll pray for you!
