10 Graceful Ways To Deal With IBS

3. Keep Medications On Hand

These may include diarrhea medications to reduce the number of bowel movements, probiotics to naturally soothe the digestive system and promote overall health, gut antispasmodics to reduce pain, bloating, and stomach spasms, laxative teas for constipation relief, and pain medications. Having these medications on hand takes the worry out of traveling or being on the go all day.
