IBS plus diarrhoea: NICE approves a new drug treatment (UK)
NICE has approved the use of a new drug called Truberzi, also known as eluxadoline, as an option for treating people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) plus diarrhoea where this has not responded to other drug treatments
More info here:

And here:

People with ME/CFS often have irritable bowel type symptoms and it would be interesting to hear from anyone with ME/CFS who has been prescribed this new prescription only treatment
