As an example of the reviews you can find on this site - a review of the self-hypnosis program the IBS Audio Program:

'I tried the Irritable Bowel Syndrome program as a last resort because not one thing my doctor or gastroenterologist did for me brought me any relief from abdominal pain. When I began the program, I did notice benefits occurring from the start - for one I started to sleep better than I had in a long time, then eventually I began to notice that my abdominal pain seemed to be so much easier to tolerate.

Then I noticed that my entire outlook to having irritable bowel syndrome changed, instead of sitting about thinking 'oh why do I have this terrible condition - I don't know if I can go out and do this and that' my irritable bowel syndrome became an issue on the peripheral of life, not the main issue anymore, and every time I had a bad day it would be like 'oh well - I'll probably be better tomorrow'.

Because of this and not worrying about it anymore, my irritable bowel syndrome has become so much better - I no longer suffer from constipation - although I do have diarrhea, but my worst symptom which was chronic pain has been virtually eliminated.'
