For most people, diet alone ISN'T enough - that's why Heather recommends yoga and the hypnotherapy tapes, both of which are an excellent way to reduce and manage stress. What *else* you can do to manage it depends on how severe the problem is; some people find that exercise, meditation, and things like that are enough to "unwind", whereas others - like me - end up needing medication, and there's no shame in that.
No matter how you decide to tackle it, stress and anxiety are HUGE triggers for IBS and MUST be managed by whatever means necessary. Then sticking with the diet will complete the puzzle - anti-anxiety meds have been a lifesaver for me, but stability wouldn't have happened without the diet. The two go hand-in-hand.
Anyway, good luck, whatever you decide to do.
