Helps if it's non-hydrogenated...

Most margarines are hydrogenated, which means they have trans-fats, which are just as bad (if not worse) for your heart as saturated fats like butter and lard. Since the IBS diet is low fat, you want the fats that you do eat to be heart-healthy (monounsaturated, polyunsaturated). So for a butter replacement you'd want some type of non-hydrogenated plant oil, and Soy Garden or Spectrum Spread are the big winners in terms of taste. If there's a non-soy alternative that would be fine - what matters is that it's dairy free, and non-hydrogenated.
