According to the data you provided, the situation is already improving. You have to be patient for several more days. If the situation does not resolve itself completely, then a post infectious worsening of the irritable bowel syndrome might have developed. Unfortunately, the treatment for irritable bowel syndrome includes only symptomatic help. Antidiarrheals, as well as the diet you already take and over the counter probiotic capsules containing Lactobacillus acidophilus would be everything that can be done for the time being.
