Hi JLeigh and
tiggster:I am one of the people on the Board who have successfully used Mike001's (Mike Mahoney) gut specific, IBS hypnotherapy tape. There have been a good number of people on the Board who have also, and I'm sure you'll be hearing from them.Mike Mahoney is a clinical hypnotherapist from England who has 12 years' experience treating patients with IBS, and has developed a 100 day, 3 tape program to help people manage their IBS symptoms. You can, of course, go to a hypnotherapist in person, but you have to make sure that they have experience dealing with IBS.I alternated C&D before, with cramping. My C would last for 3 days, and I would have D at least once a week. Since doing the tapes I rarely have C, unless I really mess up my diet badly and don't eat fiber. I have D every 2 weeks, and cramp generally only around my period now.People who have D as a main symptom usually have more dramatic results, and they'll have to speak to that.To get more information on the tapes and how hypnosis works, click on the blue box on the upper left that flashes, "Home of Mike's Tapes", and that will take you to Mike Mahoney's website where there is a lot of info on hypnotherapy. Or you can contact Eric at
