After more than 40 years of IBSD, I am eating all the things I love like leafy green vegetables, winter squash, tomatoes and more. 8 months ago my Dr. prescribed low dose Flexoril for muscle spasms, after about two months, I realized I was having diarrhea much less often. I was able to take a trip involving two long flights without asking to be seated near the restroom. Muscle spasms stopped, Flexoril stopped, diarrhea returned. Reluctantly, my Dr. agreed to prescribe 5 mg. Flexoril daily. I'm not only no longer bathroom dependent but, being able to eat a healthy balanced diet is resulting in weight loss and a boost in energy. The PDR lists Flexoril as an "off label" treatment for IBS.
