Lynn,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I do believe it is more related to stress/mental health than just the food. Because when I am doing well then I can eat almost anything (except dairy since I am lactose intolerant). I know a big reason I was completely symptom free for a while on Effexor is because it dealt with my depression and anxiety that seemed to come on quickly after the IBS started. I have tried the Hypnotherapy CDs twice now with little relief. I just ordered the Acacia fiber and am going to try it. I will check out Charles Linden and the Abraham-Hicks website...thank you for the information. I am ready to try anything. I ordered the Lucinda Basset "Attacking Anxiety and Depression" progam last fall and it made a lot of sense and seemed to help. Lucinda had IBS-D and lots of anxiety attacks and she give lots of ways to deal with them. I feel like I failed the program because I understood and identified with all the information but still am having relapses. I think I will pull the program out again and take a refresher course!
Thanks again!
