I didn't know the book was here, sure I'll be able to read it and ask follow up questions, no issue. I apologize if I came across to you as not being happy for your input, I should have made an effort to thank you and let you know you have been of great assistance to me.

That makes it sound hopeless for me. I did some reading tonight, and it sounds really bad. I have been treated in the past for anxiety with antidepressant and other alike medications, and currently am on medication, and after reading about Irritable Bowel Sydrome by a different author tonight, I feel awful.
The author basically made it out like Irritable Bowel Syndrome is caused by anixety and stress, and now I'm lose.
I don't know if I have anxiety or stress, to what extent this has caused Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but I am so tired of people saying it's all in my head.
I don't appear stressed, when I am laughing and having fun and not worrying, I still am bloated.
This is awful, I am just sick and tired of being bloated. I have tried to diet, I have a log of what I have eaten for the past 60 days, and nothing changes.
I feel doomed, and it's ruining me.
Has anybody heard of this, http://www.drdahlman.com/, is his program any good?
I have been considering paying the hundreads of dollars because he guareentees results and gives individual attention. I'm grasping, I need something to get rid of the bloating, I am tired of looking this way.

that your first language is not English. Am I correct?
Just a certain way you phrase things sometimes, I wonder if people don't mistake you because you're not exactly sure HOW to say something? If I'm wrong, then my apologies.
The computer never reads the same as talking face-to face.

Dr. Dahlman has come up on the Boards before. Please search on this: "dahlman" (no quotes) across all forums and with no time limit.
My own advice would be that before you spend lots of money, you buckle down and try all the suggestions people on these Boards have made as a unified program - 100% for at least 3 months. As far as I can remember, here's what your program should look like:
- Heather's diet
- an SFS
- regular exercise (take a walk, go for a swim, whatever - every day)
- stress reduction (yoga, yoga, yoga)
- lots and lots of fennel tea (preferably as hot as you can stand it)
As for other's people books, I believe you have to choose your guru. Mixing and matching doesn't work.
Last but not by any means least, it is NOT all in your head. Any doctor who says IBS is strictly mental is, to put it kindly, old-fashioned. If you have IBS and you go through your entire life with not one moment of stress or anxiety, you'll still have symptoms. However, stress and anxiety can make things worse, so having a means to ease them is very valuable (yoga, yoga, yoga).
HTH.

I checked out Dr. Dahlman from another ibs board. His program is expensive and even though he "guarantees" his results, he has some pretty big loopholes to get out of refunding your money.
1. If he "feels" you aren't following his diet
2. If you refuse to do any additional testing he wants
3. If he "feels" you aren't "embracing" his program
Doesn't look like you'll get any $ back.
