It is recommended to turn to Allah and supplicate with certainty, for He is the Healer and the Remover of harm. You will not grieve over what has passed if you sincerely turn to Allah. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is not an organic disease; rather, it flares up due to psychological tensions. As for fasting, Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. If fasting is difficult for you, Allah has permitted you to break your fast, and you will be rewarded for what you would have done correctly.
