The most suitable treatments for irritable bowel syndrome address the underlying causes.  Often mental emotional stressors are contributory factors.  Food choices and food sensitivities can also contribute to inflammation and irritation.  There are a myriad of supplements, herbal teas/tinctures and homeopathic remedies which can be used to successfully palliate the symptoms.  Since this is a chronic condition, there is no single "magic pill" which can alleviate the condition --it takes a combination of therapies over time.  Please consult a trained health care practitioner who can help you develop an appropriate treatment plan.
