Numerous drugs are used to treat the diarrheal form of IBS, such as: Loperamide – a synthetic opioid with antidiarrheal activity, e.g. Stoperan: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/74909/stoperan-kapsulki/apteki Selected probiotics (e.g. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis, Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938, VSL#3), e.g. Vivomix: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/89924/vivomixx-proszek-do-wytworzenia-zawiesiny/apteki Rifaksimina (only on prescription and after consulting a doctor) – an antibiotic with a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity that does not absorb from the gastrointestinal tract. Xifaxan: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/84652/xifaxan-tabletki-powlekane/apteki In diarrheal form, a special diet is also used, the so-called FODMAP, i.e. a diet that eliminates fermenting oligosaccharides and dimonosaccharides and polyols (polyalcohols used, for example, as sweeteners). The diet has antidiarrheal, antigas-forming, anti-diphthalmic effects.
