I'm here tonight, so I'm violating my own round of latest thinking, which is that I tend to do better when I'm not overfocused on this IBS thing. The Internet is not my friend when I'm in flare mode; it just makes me more anxious. Been busy the past few days, and it's kept my mind off what might be happening in my gut.

For some people, not all, it is not about the diet or the food eaten - at least in my case and others I have talked to. When diets, supplements and other things are not helpful, it may be just the act of eating (anything) that sets the IBS symptoms going. Certainly there are foods that can trigger things, but if you are eating a pretty decent diet anyway, and still have that brain-gut connection, you are going to have symptoms.

For folks who do the hypno, we suggest keeping away from support boards and researching about IBS while doing the program. This is because the sessions re-wire the brain-gut connection and take you away from IBS symptoms and thinking. Most of the people who have done the hypno are no longer on support boards because they dont think about IBS anymore, because they dont have symptoms. This is good for them, but bad for those suffering who would like to know their story. People who come for support are those 'still' looking for the most part. Many many people are helped with IBS diets - but when that does not seem to be helping, hypnotherapy seems to be the avenue of last resort. Was for me - and that was 12 years ago, so thus I do what I do for those not to give up hope. Do consider it as another option - you can do it alongside any diet or meds, and NO side effects!

Happy to address any questions - read my story/journey below for some hope and encouragement ...
