mmm.. thanks. I still clearly recall that there have been cases reported when people with IBS went to a professional hypnotherapist regularly for a month, it 'cured' the IBS (in that they could eat anything, at any time, in any combination, yet they had no C or D or pain or bloating, after the hypnotherapy). This heavenly state persisted even after the hypnosis sessions ended for good. How it was explained: their brain-gut communication had just been corrected. Was this just a tall tale, could this not be true in your opinion?
(I do believe you but I don't want you to be right and I don't want to think that there is no cure for IBS. Go ,naively optimistic me!!)
Incidentally, just what is a cure... if someone has high blood pressure and has to take medication every single day, they are still not cured, right? I wouldn't mind taking medication for the rest of my life to be honest if it meant an end for my digestive woes. But then there is the thing about something majorly effective being discovered like Zelnorm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegaserod and then it being pulled from the market due to its dangerous side-effects...
