I know a girl that is a C that had it done because her naturopath doctor suggested it. She is now 75% better than she was before, or so she says.
Something to consider.

No, I haven't tried it as 1. My gut is VERY sensitive to everything and 2. Heather REALLY does not recommend this and she's a lady who's investigated pretty much everything to do with IBS.
Ask yourself this: Has your acupuncturist got IBS and has she had one done? If the answer to both isn't yes, then why is she pushing this for you when she obviously doesn't know all that much about IBS guts - ie. they are very sensitive and being harsh with them will just trigger worse IBS.

Does she have C, or IBS too? Do you know? Maybe this is okay for folks who have only constipation and not the total package! 
I'm so on the fence with this. There's a girl at work who is going to have this done, but she only has C, not the pain and cramps, bloat, etc like me.

If you didn't have the sensitve and over-reacting IBS gut then this could be a great idea for C. Darn IBS.
