When they say common, my initial research shows that titanium dioxide is present in the most commonly used IBS medication;
Alosetron (Lotronex)
Eluxadoline (Viberzi)
Rifaximin (Xifaxan)
Lubiprostone (Amitiza)
Linaclotide (Linzess)
Going further, it's probably in almost every medication, it's an optical whitener, so it makes things look whiter by reflecting more light, it serves no functional purpose beyond aesthetics, white pills are more acceptable than grey or beige. This strikes me as extremely silly, surely people with serious health conditions can appreciate that medication may not be an appealing colour, if it works so well, why does it need to be sold so hard...
