You need to quantify "EFI diet". It took me months to figure out that green onions gave me horrible cramps, yet yellow onions were perfectly fine. It takes a lot of fine-tuning.
On the contrary, I had some pretty nasty IBS. Anxiety, depression, pain, horrible C, gas.... I refused to eat anywhere other than my own home. If I even entered a restaurant, I'd have an anxiety attack and be in terrible pain until I left. I couldn't go to happy hours or out to eat with friends, or even to BBQs at people's homes. Talk about anti-social, I was a hermit. So yeah, it was bad. Definitely wouldn't call it "mild".
I'm sorry this diet isn't working for you. But you really need to step back and ask yourself if you're giving it 100%. Maybe you're not taking the right anti-anxiety med. It took me quite awhile before I realized that anti-anxiety and anti-depressant meds were making things worse for my IBS. And that was after trying several of them.
Nowhere on your list is the hypno program. If you really want to get better, that is the way to go. And you can't get discouraged if one time through it doesn't "fix" you. It took me 2-3 times.
Good luck to you...
