A tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline (brand name elavil), at a low dosage is very commonly used to treat IBS pain. Tricyclic antidepressants possess analgesic power independent of their antidepressant action. Amitriptyline is also an anticholinergic (reduces the motility of the intestines), and hence is useful in diarrhea predominant IBS.
Is it normal that I still refuse to be vegan because of this?

You seriously can't be recommending someone anti fucking depressants to fix their IBS?
They should just stick to a diet that works for them. Jumping through hoops and shoving garbage down your body for the sake of veganism is a bad idea.
