Well, I've been taking probiotics (Jarro) for awhile now and in the beginning they were great! Lately, I don't feel they're making a difference and my stomach has been terrible. every week it's something else. It seems like everyting new works in teh beg. like when I started this diet and then my body gets used to it and it no longer works the same. Hate to be graphic but I can tell from the way my bowel movements look! so, I'm wondering should i stop the probiotics? I take Acacia so that give me a prebiotic. It seems to me that eventually you build up enough good flora and then if you keep feeding it (acacia) you should be fine. Any suggestions would be great.
I just started the hypno tapes and no changes yet but I'm trying to be positive. sometimes i don't know if I belive in them and am afraid that therefore they won't work. Is that true? Stress is my worst enemy I know this and try to stay calm but somehow my body always wins out! I just feel like screaming i'm so fed up! it seems like it doesn't matter what I eat I have problems and I keep pretty stricts to the diet. sorry to ramble any ideas are appreciated. I'm going on vacation and hope that that will help get me back on track!

Well, rlan, I was skeptical of the hypno program at first, but I'm happy to report that it did work for me; one of the things the program did for me was get me to RELAX. I don't mean just mentally, but my whole body. I think, if you just kinda "go with the flow," just enjoy the music, enjoy the calm, and enjoy the journey -- just "get into it" -- you may be surprised.
Check the hypno board, though, for more posts from others. Especially read all of Marilyn's posts. They'll answer your questions better than I can.
As for the Jarro, did you increase your dosage from 1 capsule to 2 yet? If you don't think they're helping you, then by all means stop taking them. Stress is my worst enemy as well; it's probably everyone's. But what I didn't know and ultimately discovered was that the stress that was causing my problems had nothing to do with finances or personal relationships or work, or anything like that. It had everything to do with worry about my IBS; I was in a "catch-22," worrying about the IBS, such that the worry actually would bring on an attack. What helped me most was the hypno program and this Board, where I am still learning stuff everyday.
I am just beginning to learn that the mind controls the body, the WHOLE body, in more ways than we know. I want to learn more about this, and I think Michael can teach me. I'm going to do his other program in a few weeks (it's only been 5 weeks since I completed the Audio 100).
Good luck to you -- and enjoy that vacation!
Bev

Perhaps all of the stress you are under lately, and the stress of nothing working for you, is making you worse. Stress is also my worst enemy. The hypno tapes (I have heard) should help, eventually though, as I read some have to use them twice to get an effect. Someone elso may be able to give you more info on the hypno and probiotics.
Before I started meds for stress I felt nothing was working either, though I followed the diet correctly. Now, my stress/depression is greatly reduced and I feel great!
Perhaps your vacation will be good, relaxing therapy to reduce your stress levels. Hope you feel better soon!

I completly agree with your catch-22 pattern. I think it's the same for me. It just gets for frustrating having IBS sometimes that I feel so out of control! What is the new program that michael has? I have always taken 2 capsules I'll see what i'm going to do. thanks for all your insight!
