A list of all known medicine and products for treating IBS.
Post Body

(I apologise if and when the formatting looks terrible. Still figuring mobile out)

Hi guys.

I noticed this sub doesn't have an existing archive of products or supplements for treating IBS. Information can be difficult to obtain and new medicine and products often go unnoticed so let's gather it all in one place, shall we?

Comment with the trade name the product goes by in your country, the main active ingredient(s) and whether it's for treating diarrhea, constipation or general symptoms. You can also include a brief description of the latter if you'd like.

I'll update the post as the comments come in.
