Really awful lower abdominal pains doesn't always mean there is a physiological problem, like muscle spasms or ulcers in the intestine. The pain that is often called IBS can by psychosomatic. If any of these 'herbal remedies' appear to be working really well, then it's probably psychosomatic. Thank you very much, Mr. Placebo Effect. If the pain is serious then a professional doctor from an accredited medical school should be consulted. IBS isn’t easily diagnosed.

I agree, IBS if often hard to diagnose and you have to be careful and go slowly with any supplements. Many people tend to be somewhat deficient of magnesium and it can help calm the nervous system as well as relax the muscles of the gut. If you take it, find a good, absorbable form like Magnesium Glycinate. Oxide is usually available but is less absorbable and can just make you have diarrhea. break up the dose thru out the day.
