Hi, not sure if there's a better place to post this so apologies in advance if this is the wrong spot. Anyways, I finally have my IBS-D mostly under control thanks to sticking to Heather's diet. I also have bouts of diarrhea once in awhile. I think the issue for me now is anxiety based. I seem to be fine until I make plans to have dinner with friends out. Then on the way there, I worry about it, and my anxiety causes diarrhea. So now I am afraid to go out in case it happens again. Anyone else have this issue and found a way to defeat it? I hate that my diarrhea is ruining my social life. The only solution thus far is to take immodium preemptively. Then I don't worry that I might get sick.

it will completely break the anxiety/IBS cycle. You can read all about this treatment, which you can do in person with a practitioner or at home with a program, starting here http://www.helpforibs.com/hypnosis/
You can listen to samples of IBS hypnosis here http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/books/hypnoibs.asp#listen
And there is a whole message board for this, moderated by Marilyn, a crackerjack source of IBS hypno information, here http://www.helpforibs.com/messageboards/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=hypnotherapy
Best,
Heather

Hi!
Yes Heather is right - this is the program I used, and it addresses the very thing you mention. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the program! There is great feedback for over 13 years from successful users of the IBS Audio Program - it is easy to do and so very helpful to break that brain-gut-anxiety cycle so common with IBS. So there is hope - and there is support along the way if you do choose to try this program.
And - Thank you Heather for your kind comment!  And thanks to YOU for all you do to help those who suffer with IBS! You are the BEST! xxo
