Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi
I am doing the hypnotherapy tapes Heather recommends in her book, and although I am only on day 21, I can already see a difference. I feel less anxious, more confident, relaxed, and able to get through my busy day without worrying about having an attack. When I do get stuck in the bathroom, it is not as big a deal to me psychologically as it used to be. Also, I feel hopeful that one day at a time I will get better than I have been in years.

AS for the other therapy you mentioned, I have tried accupressure, and find its results are relaxation, and a cessation of symptoms of IBS for about two days. Recently I am doing accupuncture in conjunction with a Chinese Herbal Prescription given by a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, and that in combination with the IBS diet Heather suggests are helping me immensely. Instead of having diarhea every day, I have only had it twice in the last month. I am still dealing with crazy amounts of gas and bloating though, so need to get more help/advice on that.
Good Luck, it sounds like you are already very familiar with hypnotherapy, so it must work well for you.
Kris
