well I do have the hypnosis Cds and I did try it in the past. and didn't provide long term relief. however when I am in a lot of pain I always self hypnotise myself and it really works then, almost simultanously. so I must be susceptable to hypnosis and I must have a problem with brain-gut disfunction, not just a change in digestive bacteria.
if fat speeds up peristalsis, I'd have thought that it'd cause D. I certainly know many people who have that from too much fat. for me though, it feels as if it's the complete opposite, ie that it slows things down to the point that everything grinds to a halt and stops moving. I have BMs which on the Bristol scale rank as C, even if I don't have C based on frequency of BM. this, I mean the mechanism I find confusing. it's v difficult to pass, am often compelled to strain although I do try to stop myself, but it's exactly that incomplete evacuation feeling and the pain, it's frustrating and puzzling at the same time, as I too would think that too much fat oils things up and gives you D, yet for me it seems to cause a different set of problems, which I simply can't identify. I find it difficult to imagine the mechanism therefore can't devise proper hypnosis and Michael's generic CDs don't seem to help. for IF, I'd hypnotise along the lines of slowing things down, for pain I hypnotise along the lines of calming things down. for too much fat I simply don't know what to subconsciously tell myself as I am not sure what exactly fat does to me. I also don't understand how a meal containing 20% of fat is completely fine, but one containing 30% is not. sometimes the difference is like 3 or 5 grams more fat, which doesn't seem a lot by any means.

now: stable through EFI+FODMAP dieting (no lactose/no fructose/some fructans and some polyols)
before: IBS-D(pseudo-diarrhoea), bloating, often unbearable pain esp from too much fat: Apr 2007- Dec 2010

[I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)]
