I had similar problems and my GP had prescribe Zelmac which actualy works just fine . but i went to see a specialist in Dubai who cut me off all the above medication , nexium , buscopun etc..and prescribed bene-fiber liquid satchets which took three weeks to restore my system .. had alot of constipation in the first three days but it didnt require any additional medication with it and after 3 months i was fully recovered,all the symptom were gone.
my friend was prescribed Zelmac because it works better with females. you have change alot of things in your diet in order to beter manage the IBS. if its not very progressed the sypmtoms will dissipate gradualy and sometimes completely . the reflux also needs alot of changes in your diet and environment. Read online about how to cope with reflux , what sort of foods to avoid etc. sleep with your bed raised atleast 6 to 8 inches at the head with books or under the matress.
