I took Elavil long ago, and it was one of the better meds for my severe IBS-D - It was quite helpful for a while, it eased up my IBS-D somewhat, but over time, my symptoms became worse again. I was on many diets and medications over the course of about 17 years or so. After desparation, I looked into brain-gut aspects of the condition, and used clincial hypnotherapy program featured here and this was helpful to me - I am able to eat chocolate of any kind and have no major food restrictions.
The FODMAP diet and Heather's diet has been extremely helpful and life-changing for many folks, but everyone has to find their own way!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask - always happy to help.
