Natural Standard, The Authority on Integrative Medicine answered:

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been studied for diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) but herbal formulations used in available studies have not led to global symptom improvement. Further studies may be necessary to characterize the role of TCM in the management of IBS.
You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
