Hi, Liv!
I would definitely give the Previcid a try. I know that it is really a stomach medication but I could swear that it has helped me with my IBS in the past. I've always suffered from nausea (gas in bowels pushing back on stomach I know now) and this has delayed my diagnosis for a number of years because doctors were always looking out for gastritis. I ended up with acid-pump blockers (different brands) and each time this put an end to a long-term (like four or six weeks) IBS situation. Every time my BMs changed completely for the better within days. This may just have been a knock-on effect I don't know, but it definitely worked. Last autumn I asked my gastro for them and again and got much better for several weeks. Life quality just improves with the nausea gone, so may be that did it. Now I take them as needed only when I get nauseous (which is rare as my symptoms are different now). Normally the effect of one lasts for 48hours and that's a very tolerable long-term dosis. It has no dangerous side effects so you might as well try it.
Good luck
Susaloh
