Irritable bowel syndrome

Hi, I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome with a predominantly diarrheal profile and in particular after meals I often get cramps and urge to go to the bathroom, I was wondering if there was a medicine that could be used in case of important dinners or in any case where it is not possible to go to bathroom afterwards. I had thought about buscopan, can it work?

Yes, buscopan is good. In the US we use imodium and levsin or dicyclomine, which you can take before meals.
