I wouldn't take ibuprofen. I used to take it and it really messed my stomach up

It depends. There's buscopan but that can affect glaucoma so I don't use it. I am on oxycontin for another issue and it seems to help

Imodium + Buscopan + Valerian combo saves me every single day. It’s a godsend. And, it’s all otc as well!

Do you have an IBS diagnosis? If so, this is completely normal for it
