No thanks are necessary, I'm just glad that my post helped a bit. I understand about the anxiety, so I would recommend the hypnotherapy if you can afford it. You might want to talk to your doctor about any anti-anxiety medication that can help also. I believe on this website there is a list that Heather has where she states every other condition that needs to be ruled out before someone can be diagnosed with IBS. It's also in her "The First Year" book -- I think you mentioned you bought that? Anyway, I know what you mean about others without IBS not understanding. However, a lot more people have heard of the condition nowadays, and its great for that awareness to increase. Like I said before, feel free to post about anything -- at first I was asking a million questions and nobody here told me to stop or made me feel like I was asking too much...hey, the only stupid question is the one not asked  Good luck with the diet and keep us posted!
