Brief Answer:
Ors -- oral rehydration salt. Mention your symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM

I have gone through your query.
ORS is oral rehydration salt, it can be prepared at home, but it is available at drug store with different flavors, and instruction on how to prepare will be on that XXXXXXX

What are your symptoms, kindly mention them for better assessment.

IBS is diagnosed after ruling out other conditions. I would have initially treated you with dietary modification like consuming diet rich in fibres, avoiding spicy food, alcohol and avoid smoking. Drink plenty of fluids, fresh fruit juices. And observe for change.
