Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Handling Middle School and IBS

Hi, and welcome! You got great advice from the other posters, and I'd add that trying the IBS hypno tapes are a good idea as well. They are especially helpful when IBS has been so severe/chronic that people have anxiety about leaving the house because they fear attacks. The fear itself can then trigger attacks, and it's a vicious circle.

I think if your son had the luxury of time he'd gain confidence from the improvements he's seen from diet, and his anxiety would fade on its own accord. But the hypno tapes will help that in a much more active way, and they may work very quickly as well (though they can take months). They certainly can't hurt - my guess is that they'll really, really help.

Check the hypno board on this site and ask any questions.
Details about the program are here web page

Best,
Heather
