I have had IBS symptoms for about three years, and was started on Mebeverine four months ago. The drug certainly helps. What I find helps the most is not eating processed or junk food - if I eat meals prepared from scratch, even spicy meals, I have no symptoms. If on the other hand I am busy at work, and go 2 or 3 days on take-aways or ready meals then the symptoms (gurgling stomache, slight diarrhoea) come back.
