It may be tempting to try because you are in pain, but you should avoid drugs that have a laxative effect. Remember the idea here is to go with a natural approach. This also does not mean that you should eat spicy food just to have a bowel movement. Some IBS sufferers find that spices makes their symptoms worse. However, if spices do not make your IBS symptoms worse and you like spicy food then there is growing evidence of the health benefits of spice, for example increasing your metabolic rate.
Try to make your daily life physically healthier. For example go for a half hour walk three times a week. If you need seven hours sleep, then do what you can to get seven hours sleep. You need to listen to what your body is telling you.
The last point to make is to try and reduce the stresses in your life. This is easier said than done, I know. But if you can find time to listen to soothing music or read an uplifting book, then do it. Take time out for you per day.
All the best,
Alex.
