What helps to relieve symptoms of IBS?

I am still learning. However, I have found taking dicyclomine 20 mg 3xper day a lifesaver. I also am trying the Low Fermentation Diet/SIBO diet from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. I searched on line for IBS/ SIBO diet. I still have a lot to learn. I have found that less fiber is better than more.
Dicyclomine taken as prescribed has brought peace to my intestines. No more bloating, cramping and only intermittent diarrhea.
Also eating white bread, french bread, italian bread, sourdough bread are all fine.
It is an easy diet.
IBS-D plus SIBO is challenging. There is no cure but I am getting more good days than bad now.

I am very glad to hear you had success and more good days than bad days. How did you determine you had SIBO? For the dicycline how do you take it , certain time before or certain time after a meal?

Please keep all informed on the SIBO diet. Someone mentioned it to me as well. My doctor prescribed Colestipol 1GM twice a day and I am not experiencing diarrhea at all anymore. I do also take anti anxiety meds Sertraline & Buspirone that helps with the anxiety which will aggravate IBS-D.
