Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Many people with IBS and anxiety disorder want non-medical treatment for their illness. There are two treatments, other than your routine pharmacological treatments, that are effective in the disorder mentioned by you. They are cognitive behavioural therapy and biofeedback therapy. Both of them do not require medications and can be taken up by trained psychiatrist or psychologist.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:

Wish you good health,
Kind regards
Dr. Srikanth Reddy M.D.
