Yes, specifially I've been on opiate therapy for the better part of a decade to control my IBS and gastritis. Although doctors in this country (the US) are hesitant to go this route, it does still remain a viable option for those for whom traditional alternatives have failed. I've tried ADs, and most anti-spasmotics, diet and meditation therapy, but nothing has worked as well for me as opiates to control my D.
Please keep in mind this is not an option for C sufferers, as these drugs can be very constipating and can swing you to a C if you are not careful.
I'm currently on codiene 4x+ daily, with high doses of loperamide (aka Imodium, which is absorbed through anal opioid receptors). People forget Imodium is also an opiate because of the absence of euphoria associated with the drug (see this page for additional information about loperamide).
I also highly recomend (only if you're D again) vicodin, percodan or percocet for "out of the blue" attacks. These high dose opiates will reset the system almost immediately. But they will also get you pretty high too, so please folks, no driving or writing checks while you're under the influence. 
Good luck!
