NO!!!!!

IBS has to do with irregular muscle contractions, and it is not true that it's not a real condition.

It also is not a psychiatric condition.

For people with IBS who mostly have diarrhea, Librax or Lotronex are effective.

For those IBS is mostly constipation, Zelnorm is recommended.

Another thing: many people have lactose intolerance but don't know it. Taking Lactaid tablets (available at any grocery or drug store) with dairy foods will help that.

More serious are things like ciliac disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. CHECK WITH YOUR GASTROENTEROLOGIST!

Everyone should have a colonoscopy to rule out cancer of the colon, too.

What is the best medication for IBS suffering from both constipation and diarrhea?

I have IBS with diarrhea and the best thing to do is really watch what you eat. Eat what you want, but in small portions. Eating a lot at one time really makes my IBS flare as well as the day after an alcohol filled night...so just be prepared for that. Immodium, Pepto, Etc are always helpful too if you aren't aware of what foods do and do not work well with your body. The best thing to do is follow your doctor's orders and if you haven't gone to the dr yet, please go. IBS, Crohns and Coilitis have many similar symptoms and do not respond to the same meds or eating habits. by all means, see a GI dr. BTW alcohol is just asking for trouble with any intestinal diseases. One last thing that I hope will help. search and research what you are feeling. Don't over read your meds and don't ignore them. Keep a journal of what and when you are eating. If something changes for the bad, write it down and give it to the Dr. Good luck!
