Hi and welcome to HCM,
IBS is common gut disorder. In my opinions it can treated with Antispasmodic medicines. If you have constipation laxatives are advised for short periods. Loperamide is the the most commonly used antidirrhoeal medicine for IBS. Anti-depressant is only advised if you have persistent symptoms, or frequent bad flare-ups. Add more fibre in your diet.
Wish you speedy recovery
Thanks
