No problem with your explanations and your references and what you believe will help those who suffer with IBS. 
Not here to debate anything - you and others do what you feel is best for you! You have found your way along with others with this diet and that is great!
But to clarify, it has also been found, that many people who have completed the hypnotherapy program, after finding that the diets, etc. did not help, DID find their way, and they were no longer on any specific diets, and certainly not overly restrictive diets.
So I am approaching this not as a substitute for trying the FODMAP, but as an adjunct, or the 'next thing' to try - most people do hypno as a very last resort.
So by all means, certainly sufferers should consider the FODMAP, or EFI, or other diets - whatever is necessary to help your condition. If that is the thing that helps, then the hypno may not even be needed. Or needed just for the brain-gut connection you mention.
No debate there.
Again, I do say that from past experience, in reading all your many posts, I believe you will need to be realistic regarding the results of the program for your specific situation. We have found that those who do rely on restrictive diets and are very food conscious on a constant monitoring level, sometimes are not as receptive because constantly thinking about your condition in relation to your diet, etc. may possibly play a major role in how you perceive yourself in relation to 'having' IBS.
All the best - and will bow out now. 
Hope this helps! Take care.
