How Can Irritable Bowel Syndrome Causing Diet And Bowel Problems Be Treated?

Hi, My mother's age is 62 years. She has irritable bowel syndrome for the last 40 years. She is not able to eat food more than once a day i.e. lunch. Her diet consists of rice, toor dal and boiled potatoes.Fruits and vegetables do not suit her. She needs to pass bowels for 8-10 times a day and each time it is for 15min-30mins. A lot of blood comes out of her anus when she is passing stools.Please can you recommend the right medicines.
Thanks
