Dr. Dahlman has come up on the Boards before. Please search on this: "dahlman" (no quotes) across all forums and with no time limit.

My own advice would be that before you spend lots of money, you buckle down and try all the suggestions people on these Boards have made as a unified program - 100% for at least 3 months. As far as I can remember, here's what your program should look like:

- Heather's diet
- an SFS
- regular exercise (take a walk, go for a swim, whatever - every day)
- stress reduction (yoga, yoga, yoga)
- lots and lots of fennel tea (preferably as hot as you can stand it)

As for other's people books, I believe you have to choose your guru. Mixing and matching doesn't work.

Last but not by any means least, it is NOT all in your head. Any doctor who says IBS is strictly mental is, to put it kindly, old-fashioned. If you have IBS and you go through your entire life with not one moment of stress or anxiety, you'll still have symptoms. However, stress and anxiety can make things worse, so having a means to ease them is very valuable (yoga, yoga, yoga).
