My brother has ibs and his doctor
prescribed fibercon which is a laxative.
Wouldn't a laxative when he has diarrhea
make his ibs worse???

Fibercon is a bulking agent which will
absorb excess fluids from the colon and
should help your brother's diarrhoea stop
by making his stool more solid. Don't
overdo it or he might get constipated.
Find a happy medium.

Well, it can also work as a regulator of
the bowels movements, making the bowel
work more properly since it is
deresgulated now.
