read my post above.
Dr Palsson cannot ethically comment on Mike's tapes, although he is well aware of there successes here and on the IBS self help group. I have personally studied this in depth and Mike is an expert. Dr Palsson, has to stick to what has been physically researched. What he did say is it is important to have someone doing Gut directed or gut specific hypnotherapy which is what Mike's tapes do. Mike is an expert on it so you know. A Hypnotherpaist has certain benefits to seeing one in person, however the CD's also have benefits to doing them, cost, from home are a just a few.
Gut directed hypnotherapy uses specific standard scripts for everyone, although a therapist in person might tweek it some. Mike's approach is different and that is expalined on his sites and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have, but don't rule out trying Mike's tapes.
I also have more information on all this then probably anyone on the planet seriously. I didn't just study IBS and hypnotherapy, but hypnotherapy itself, hypnotherapy for medical conditions from some major experts.
One of them is
Dr. Spiegel is the Jack, Lulu & Sam Willson Professor in the Stanford University School of Medicine and associate chair of psychiatry and behavioral sciences. He also directs the Stanford Center on Stress and Health. Dr. Spiegel is renowned in the field of hypnosis and the use of hypnosis in clinical settings, and is the author of several books including "Trance and Treatment: Clinical Uses of Hypnosis." Dr. Spiegel is carrying out studies of the neurophysiological components of hypnosis by studying brain correlates of hypnotic perceptual alteration, using PET, fMRI and diffusion tensor imaging. His research program is designed to examine neurophysiological and peripheral mechanisms through which psychological and social support may influence physical health.

There are a ton of misconceptions on hypnotherapy and what it is and can be used for, but it has shown to be very effective for most people who try it with IBS.
