Does anyone have any other answers? I've had IBS symptoms since I was 17, I'm 23 now and it is worse than ever right now. I've been on 4-5 different medications. IBS related meds to anti-anxiety and anti-depressants to try to treat the symptoms but nothing has even remotely worked. I would like to try hypnotherapy. Does anyone have experience with this or have any other suggestions? I really would appreciate the help. Thanks

Do you really think it's worth the money? It seems like a lot of money, but if u think it is that good it might be worth a shot. I've tried audio relaxation tapes but they didn't really help. Maybe these will work better?

These tapes do sound very good, and I might give it a shot. It's so frustrating that nothing I can find can stop this problem. But being able to control it would be nice as well. It just think it stinks that I'm 23 years old and my life has already been restricted from what I can eat and where I can go. I just wanna be able to go on vacations, and travel, and go fishing on a boat again. This sucks. I also need to get this fixed because i need to get a job but I'm a little hesitant because I'm in a rut right now with my stomach. Is it normal to go into periods where your stomach justs feels horrible and u just feel like u can't leave the house? It usually isn't so bad but sometimes I get into these ruts where it just won't go away? Any advice to get through this or thoughts on how long this will last until it calms down again?

I just started to take the calcium yesterday. I don't eat any cheeses or milk because I feel that it agravates me, so hopefully these calcium supplements will prove to make a difference. I don't know if I'm lactose intolerant, but I know it seems to definitely have an effect on me when I do eat it. I've recently completely changed my diet too, to bland, healthy foods only. Just a lot of protein and vegetables. I don't know if there is something else I should or shouldn't be eating. It seems like it doesn't matter, as soon as I put food into my stomach, it begins bubbling.

Matrix - What hypno did you try? Did u go see someone, or use the tapes that everyone on here is talking about?
