The FDA has announced that it approved the drug Amitiza for the treatment of IBS with constipation. The approval was based on trials that included more than 1,100 patients, nearly all of whom were women.

IBS is a condition that can produce varying bowel changes, including both constipation and diarrhea, plus bloating and gas along with abdominal pain. Until this drug approval, there had been no prescription available for IBS with constipation.

Thats not to say that there were no treatments at all, however. Dr. Williams has recommended digestive health supplements, including peppermint oil, to calm the gut and improve bowel regularity. As a bonus, peppermint oil doesnt produce the common side effects of Amitiza, which include...abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Take enteric-coated capsules of peppermint oil three times a day, between meals.
