    Question:   I had been suffering the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, but I suspected that, because these symptoms were irregular, that something in my diet may be causing them. By noting what foods affected me mostly, I discovered that milk products were the cause. When I excluded these from my diet, the symptoms disappeared. What can I take to alleviate this problem? Are there any medicines which will counteract against these symptoms, so that I may return to a normal diet?    Dr. McLaughlin's Answer
