For Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea "You need yo take tofranil to block the signals from your stomach to your brain. I have re-occurring sibo. If I take tofranil , I’m good. If I stop, I notice the symptoms immediately as bad and have to treat again with xifixan. I went to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona did treatment and they recommended tofranil. Ask your gastro about it. Life changer."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea "I have basically unconfirmed IBS. Tremendous bloating and constipation. It can be really awful. Been on Linzess for a few years which helps but you have to be careful when you take it so you don’t poop in your pants."
