Hi Jack,

If no one has said this before "Welcome to Healthboards". I remember when I first came on a health bulletin board. It was a strange experience to say the least. I didn't really understand the culture behind bulletin boards. I was therefore in your situation. Maybe it is coincidental, but I started a huge declaration of my beliefs on the boards and needless to say - some people were peeved by it.

I realize that you've probably stumbled across something big - but you will have to take your time to share things here. It is as you have said - people may have found their own ways of dealing with their problems, and partially as Harry has mentioned - that not all people fit the same description.

If you look around - I've been here for approximately three years - and I've come up with a number of visual techniques which help some and not others. The basis of my visual techniques is the basis of the hypnotherapy - the brain gut-connection. But if you also look around you will find that I've explained why hypnotherapy might work - yet not permanently.

Therefore also, the need to use diet as another tool to assist the recovery. While I totally agree with you when you say that diet is not the primary problem in IBS (and some may agree as well); Still, it can't hurt to eat a healthy diet - it might improve your fighting chances (if you don't understand how - read my posts from the past).

In either case: your chances of helping others on the board may be improved if you watch the culture and figure out how to blend in without rocking the boat too much.

If, on the other hand you wish to discuss visual techniques - I would be more than happy to do so.

Cheers, Raju.
