Sir for ibs, there has been a lot of literature with regards to this and in association with stress and with use of pre-pro biotics. Please consult with your doctor / psychiatrists about regular use of sertraline or mirtazepine which is shown to be beneficial in ibs along with use of pre and pro biotic compounds.
