Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Don't give up - it is never to late for IBS to get better...

When I was a little kid and having a severe attack of IBS pain, I used to dream that someone would break into the house, break into the bathroom, and kill me.

It wasn't possible to imagine killing myself because when I'm in that kind of pain I literally cannot move, speak, or sometimes even breathe. If I'm lucky, I'll black out from the pain and then I don't have to endure it anymore.

But - if I eat properly for IBS, I can prevent well over 99% of those attacks. And if I go right for a strong hot cup of peppermint tea (and I mean strong - brew it black) I can stop the pain in seconds. I need someone to make that tea for me if the pain has already hit, but if that's an option it works beautifully.

I didn't have gut-directed hypnotherapy as an option back then, but I sure as hell would have tried it had it been available to me. If you haven't looked into this option, run to the hypno section of this site right now and look over the info. Seriously - this is something that can break a lifelong cycle of severe, debilitating, seeming insurmountable IBS when everything else has been tried and failed.

We're here for you - and we definitely know what you are going through.
