Do you have any advice for someone who has (unsuccessfully) tried acupuncture, herbs, Chinese herbs, a gastroenterologist (who prescribed various antispasmodics followed by codeine and then finally imipramine - as a last resort), cognitive therapy and hypnotherapy tapes (specifically, the ibs audio programme)?

My boyfriend (who suffers from IBS) has found no relief from any of these. He did achieve some reduction in pain and inconsistency, after following Heather's soluble fibre diet, but cannot seem to shake the ensuing depression and fear of travelling which IBS symptoms have caused.

Any advice which you can give as to specific therapies; successful IBS therapists; support groups; new or successful drugs which are available in the UK/ London would be very helpful.

Thank you.
