Still no relief or difference. Pain is still horrible.  What do I do? Continue? Maybe I just need EFI and hypnosis.

Perhaps your diet contains too much insoluble fiber from things like brown rice and unpeeled egg plant. Beside reducing FODMAPs you need to follow Heather advice regarding soluble and insoluble fiber.

i don't eat brown rice or the peel on the eggplant. I haven't even eaten the eggplant. I am eating EFI and FODMAP, syl.

Perhaps it might be useful to post the meals and snacks you have eaten over the past 2-3 days. It might give us some clues. It definitely can't hurt and maybe quit beneficial to try the hypnosis CD.

You definitely need hypnosis or some other kind of relaxation. You are wired, girl. And you need to give a specific diet plan time to work, whatever that plan may be.

I need support not criticism. I don't need condescending replies on here too!

Cyndy, you need to be told the truth. Give the FODMAPS or Heather's plan or both time to work. It is never a quick fix. And find some way to calm down. THIS WILL help your pain! Sorry but this is the truth.

I read your post wrong. I thought you said "your weird girl". It's hard to calm down when the pain and trying to figure out diets to get rid of it is all you think about all day, ,every day, because you are so desperate for relief and the gi doctor just tells you "it's all in your head..and offers no suggestions on diet, meds, supplements...nothing.

Exactly my point. The reason you can't calm the pain down is you are so focused on it and are not doing anything to relieve this anxiety.
Here is what you can try if you would like to check it out. There is a website called Yogaglo. If you can spare $18 per month, it is WELL worth it. You can get a trial membership I believe.
On this site you have every style of yoga, relaxation, breathing techniques, meditation, stretching, etc. The breath is very important in calming the mind and body. You have drop down menus which allow you to chose from teacher, duration, style, and level. You choose daily or more often what you want to do that day. They also have a blog you can read to help you, that is very informative. This site is wonderful and well worth the $18 per month.
Cyndy, check it out. I think you would greatly benefit from it. Choose what you like and leave the rest. It is simple and easy and it will help you, but give it time. As with your eating, just give it time.
I know you think I was being mean,but I am trying to make you see that how you are reacting to IBS is not helping you. You have to take the steps, and give them a chance to work. It really is an individual battle. All we can do is give you some tools to work with. Ya know, sometimes docs are not much help, because they just don't get it. You may have to take your health and well-being into your own hands.

do you have a recommendation on where to start? I only saw yoga...not the relaxation, breathing,meditation, etc. Who do you use and what do you do on there. It's sort of confusing to know where to start on that. Thanks.
