Suggest Medication For IBS(irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Hello Dr,I am suffering through gastric symptoms since 2001 along with IBS. I noticed another symptom which is the right side of my belly button is bit tender. But my concern is, last couple of years I am having burning sensation and discomfort every now and then in lower right side of the abdomen. I have slightly enlarged fatty liver but the dr said nothing to worry about that. I went through colonscopy for the discomfortness around my belly button but the report came normal. But the discomfort is still there even I can feel it when I lay down on right side. I would be thankful by your suggestion.
