Hypnotherapy is very popular. Heather says it is the only thing that can permanently cause a change in our screwed up mind/gut relationship!

I went on a website www.remedyfind.com and for irritable bowel syndrome, hypnotherapy was rated the number one most effective treatment for IBS with absolutely no side effects. It scored higher than all AD's, all antispasmodics, and all the other drugs we are given for IBS.

Some people have also found relief from accupuncture but this treatment doesn't have the scientific studies backing it up like hypnotherapy does.

You might want to try another AD if elavil doesn't work out for you. It is a very common AD that docs prescribe for IBS folks, but as I said, very difficult side effects. In my case I did give it a good 3 or 4 months before giving up on it.

Oh yeah, cognitive therapy with a therapist is another good option.
