I just had dental surgery today and I was prescribed a mild pain medication. Is this safe for IBS? I have been taking them today, as prescribed, but I am technically starting the diet tomorrow.
It is about 10mg. So, It's quite mild. I would like to know because the pain in my jaw can get pretty bad.

I'd take it with some SF. But it depends on personal tolerance with drugs. The stress of pain won't help your jaw pain.

What pain killer are you taking? Some pain killers have codeine which will cause C only for the duration you take it. Just be careful what you eat and get plenty of SF and water/tea. Chances are you won't be taking this for a lengthy period of time, so don't worry!

It says on the bottle: Novo Ketorolac
Each white, plain, round, film-coated tablet, marked in black with "N" on one side and "10" on the other, contains 10 mg of ketorolac. Nonmedicinal ingredients include colloidal silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, and titanium dioxide.

It seems to be like Advil/Ibuprofen only stronger, so it should be fine. If you have any problems with it, call the doc and ask if you should stop or if you could switch to something lighter such as Advil (don't suggest mixing them).
Hope your mouth heals up quick. And also good luck starting the diet.
