Homeopathic Medicine for IBS

Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a chronic inflammatory condition that is characterized by severe bouts of diarrhea. Diet plays a key role in controlling IBS, and can be supplemented by taking certain homeopathics--holistic medicines that are comprised of sugar and extracts or plants, and shaped into small pellets. These pellets are taken a few at a time and dissolved under the tongue. In severe, acute circumstances, take one to four pellets every 15 minutes until symptoms improve. All these homeopathic medicines for IBS can be found at any health food store.
