There are two types of IBS, diarrhea and constipation (IBS-D, IBS-C) and I believe both are associated with seizure, perhaps especially constipation. And both are a matter of microbial imbalance and toxins in my understanding. I'm sorry, I just don't buy the idea that the brain causes diarrhea, though vomiting is another story. Karen, you deserve amazing amounts of credit for even considering the relationship between your son's diarrhea and seizure activity when most doctors would discount seizures of gut origin. They shouldn't because the top gut diseases include seizure as symptom (Celiac, amebiasis, ulcerative colitis, etc.). And what appears truly unknown to doctors is the gut-eye connection.
Karen, have you tried powered or leaves of gelatin which is a well known diarrhea cure? The gelatin fills in gaps of the intestinal barrier (leaky gut) and absorbs toxins. It's a temporary fix, possibly with long term application for repair.
Other than direct kill of microbes to balance using things like oregano oil, colloidal silver and prescription antibiotics (resistance is a big problem), it may be even more important to enhance innate immunity, i.e., stimulating macrophage activity, using things like bee propolis, fucoidan and ABM mushrooms. I'm still learning about these things and there are probably many other things which do the same or similar, i.e., increasing intracellular calcium. Here are some links about fucoidan and ABM mushrooms and there's tons of research behind bee propolis as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and immune enhancer:

By the way, for my own health and balance, I've begun intermittent fasting this week, allowing a daily eating window of 12-8pm. In my fifth day now and it's really not so difficult . . . maybe even adding a new joy to eating. So many benefits of fasting as outlined earlier . . .
