I am pretty sure Elavil is an anti-depressant and is therefore not particular to any type of IBS. I was on a couple antidepressants to help with the anxiety and mind- gut connection. People have different experiences with them- no harm to give it a try b/c it could help.

I have had IBS for about 5 yers since my gallbladder was removed. I went on Levsin in February- I like it- it has helped me. Of course, I still have to do all of our little tricks with herbs, tea, etc.

I did not want to be on meds either, but you have to weigh the risk of the meds with the quality of life it could give you. How you feel effects your family, friends, your work, etc., so I think it is worth it to give it a try.

Hope that helps.
