Hi,
Irritable bowel syndrome is a problem which needs diet modification more than drugs. This disease often accompanies person throughout life. Though drugs can manage it but that are not permanent solution as this disorder has strong genetic factors like less production of digestive enzymes or high production of hormones which induce irregular bowel movements.
I suggest you dietary strategy and I hope you will feel better. Identify foods which cause it like onions in some people. Reduce consumption of coffee, coke, and carbonated beverages. Take sleep of 8 hours.
Use curd with milk in solution form but mixed.it has overall healthy effect on gut. Take plenty of liquids particularly in mornings after wake-up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
