The USDA warns against the consumption of raw milk

"In summary, since raw milk may contain human pathogens, the consumption of raw milk products increases the risk of gastrointestinal illness due to the likelihood that it may contain infective doses of human pathogens. The only method proven to be reliable in reducing the level of human pathogens in milk and milk products is by those milk products being produced and processed under sanitary conditions and subsequently being properly pasteurized. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration; therefore, strongly advises against the consumption of raw milk. "

Raw milk and pasteurized milk essentially contain the same ingredients minus harmful bacteria and will not be better tolerated by IBS suffers. In fact it might cause more GI distress due to the pathogens it might contain.
