Are there herbal remedies to help IBS?

Yes, but it depends what your symptoms are as to what remedy would best suit you. 

The herb Centaurium is one I find useful for people with acid reflux and heartburn. You take this in a drop of water before each meal.

Digestisan drops will deal effectively with indigestion, wind, and feeling overly full after meals. Take the drops in a little water before each meal.

Silicol gel provides fast relief for many symptoms that are associated with IBS, such as stomach ache, acid indigestion, and discomfort in the lower digestive tract. Take it in a large glass of water 20 minutes before each main meal.

Tormentil Complex is used for diarrhoea and/or very loose stools. Only use this, however, if these symptoms are not interspersed with bouts of constipation.
