Well, thanks for the encouragement, Marilyn and all. We sure can use it! We are both very encouraged by knowing that apparently most folks -especially kids!- who do the hypno do get back to a regular diet without pain. I tell my daughter all the time that that's where we are going, and we both do believe that. Marilyn, I have planned to take you up on your offer and give you a call with some hypno-specific questions, so thanks again for the offer. ITMT, to answer those questions posted here: Firstly, by "accidentally eating" I really mean those rare occasions where we were not being careful enough, so in those cases she ate something without knowing it until the symptoms. [Also, attempting with extreme caution to add the recommended cautious additions to the basic "crisis" diet has rarely succeeded, so that's another reason that I credit the diet.] Secondly, yes, for sure my daughter has literally taken bottles of Imodium. A few months ago, it actually worked, but (apparently thanks to the stress of doctor appointments!) something changed and it no longer appears to have much of an effect. The anti-spasmodic Rx that resulted from the anxiety-inducing appts also made no observable change and we abandoned it. She does still take the Imodium at times - not clear at the moment if it helps at all, and it really used to obviously help. Nevertheless, as bad as all this sounds (and is!), things have improved in the last month . . . At the moment, that's what we're clinging to.
