    Hi Fiona, I had the same with loose stools for 16 weeks and like you had colonoscopy, initially was told I had diverticular disease and then was changed to IBS, currently taking Mebeverine 3 x daily 20 mins before meals, certainly has helped me, you can buy over counter from chemist but ask your doctor if he will prescribe.

    Hope they work and you get respite as I know what it is like to continuallybe running to toilet.

    Good luck
