It helped me a lot, but in a more slow and subtle way than Heather's diet. (I was walking to the train about 2 days after starting fiber + Heather's diet and I realized that for the first time in my life, my belly wasn't rumbling. This was such a revelation - I didn't even realize how miserable I was feeling until it stopped!)
About a month or so after I finished the program, my husband and I were heading to the grocery store. I started feeling a little rumbly and sick, and then I thought "I shouldn't be tensing up. I should just relax a bit. And we can always go home if I'm really having an attack." I *never* would have had those thoughts pre-hypno! I relaxed a bit, I felt better in 5 minutes, I never had an attack that day. And, in general, I have fewer attacks now even under stress, and those I do have are an hour or two of feeling punky rather than a half-day of misery followed by a week of feeling out of it.
It reduced my fears of going out, too. Now, the only times I don't want to go out and travel are because that's the way I feel (being a big ol' introvert) and not because I think my body is going to misbehave on me.
