Terrible abdominal pain after some meals. Bouts of diarrhea & constipation. I was prescribed Xifaxan but after reading about it.
I am hesitant to start it. Seems a short term solution. Ive been dealing with IBS my entire life.
What helps IBS with diarrhea & constipation?

Clearlax only at night
Linzess at morning my doctor
Had me on all of this for about a year & a half but then I started having pain&
Diarrhea so my pharmacist started saying to me that she thinks I'm on to many medications so my stomach doctor took me off of;

Metamucil 2/3 times daily depending on symptoms just always ask your doctor hope this helps
I've taken dicyclomine for 25+ years for my IBS and have found that it works extremely well for me.
