I am going to chime in here.
Everybody on the board knows me and I have made a big deal about how I found some, but nowhere close to the relief I needed from EFI.
However, Syl has helped me a lot. Syl told me about FODMAPS. I then saw an RD about FODMAPS, and followed her diet, not much better.
I went back to Syl, and was very angry. I took Syl up and changed my diet to a very low fiber, EFI, FODMAP diet. During this span, I have had my IBS in much better shape.
Am I cured? No. Does IBS still inhibit me? Yes. However, it is better, way more than it was 6-12 months ago. In fact, we have agreed that diet wise, there is nothing more I can do...the next and final step is hypnosis. However, per Marilyn, it will have to be done in person as tapes would likely, at least to start, be ineffective.
My point? I am an extremely difficult IBS person. I am IBS A with a lot of bloating. Doing what Syl told me to do diet wise has been more helpful than why any RD ever could say, because they do not have the research and science background nor first hand problems with IBS.
It's not close to a cure, but it got me to the next stage.
