One of the criteria for IBS is "Recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort" where discomfort means an uncomfortable sensation not described as pain. In contrast the criteria for Functional D is "loose (mushy) or watery stools without pain occurring in at least 75% of stools".

If you don't have pain do you have discomfort?

Here is a link to a good brochure on functional from IFFGD. There is a section on treatment that suggests it is similar to the EFI diet with a few more restrictions particularly some complex carbohydrates. Not sure about supplements. This brochure says functional D is thought to be a subset of IBS.
