Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Irritable bowel syndrome that too diarrhea predominant can be a nuisance some times and needs management. Diet and lifestyle modifications are the key steps in it. Colypan ad ipran are both antispasmodics. There are many other antispasmodics economic and easily available.
in IBS these medications have little role no matter what you use. More important is diet and lifestyle modification, cutting out calories, fatty products, dairy products, spices, stimulants, processed and canned foods, preferring more fiber and fluids. using peppermint and yogurt in every meal as former is best natural antispasmodic and later is best natural probiotic an both helps IBS,
Nutshell, just get any over the counter antispasmodic for the temporary relief with focus on permanent diet and lifestyle change.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
