Hi eric, welcome to the board. I think the best thing you can do is browse the pages on this BB and look at all the associated pages too (hypnotherapy, products, the page kmottus suggested) and just have a read of what people are trying. There are many things to try, from dietry changes, medications, supplements, lifestyle changes, hypnotherapy or CBT. See what takes your fancy or seems particularly relevant to you. There is general info that I think most IBSers are given to start with, which is eat more fiber and avoid commonly irritating foods like stimulants (coffee, alcohol, fatty or fried foods).susan
