Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Still having pain free days folks! I think the hypno CD's and diet are doing wonders for me--the CD's even help me keep my stress in check. Before many of my symptoms were being controlled by diet alone but the pain was a constant. Finally after using the CD's for over 2 months I noticed that my body does not freak out as much, I am more confident that I will be able to control my symptoms, and my pain has gone way down.
Really the diet has done wonders for me and taught me a lot about cooking and control, but I think it has been my overall aggressive approach to controlling my IBS with diet and alternative therapy (hypno CD's). I am wondering if my success has much to do with the fact that I was only diagnosed in October of 2006 and took immediate action to get things under control. It has been such a struggle and there are times when the pain is tough to deal with but my other symptoms are still in control.
Anyway, this is my update and I hope it encourages people to keep striving to control symptoms and follow the diet completely not just "some times". If IBS is always with you then you need to control it all the time not some times,.

Thanks again to you awesome people on the boards! I could nor have gotten this far without you.
