Over the Counter Remedies for IBS

Thursday September 11, 2008
“Until we find a cure...” has become a catch-phrase for a variety of health problems. Unfortunately, IBS certainly falls into the category of medical problems for which there is no readily available medication that makes it all better. There are, however, many over the counter (OTC) remedies that can help to reduce symptoms and suffering. It is easy to become overwhelmed by the wide variety of choices. In order to help you to navigate your way through these options, I have put together a list of my overviews of the more popular IBS remedies: “Over the Counter Remedies for IBS”.

Have you found a particular OTC to be of help to you? Have you had a bad experience with any? Please let me know by posting to the IBS discussion group.
