Great stuff guys.

I’ve had a look at some of the research papers but didn’t find any detail on these questions:

- Aside from direct physiological response to the hypnosis, is there also evidence of efficacy due through changes in behavior? I.e., greater adherence to diets or other lifestyle changes? I note that some of negative comments in this thread focuses on efficacy relative to diets like low FODMAP, but I can imagine these approaches could be complementary rather that dichotomous.

- Is much known about why it works on a psychophysiological level? I.e., a reduction in cortisol changes the way the digestive system functions, or a change in one’s beliefs about their place in the world leads to a change in the way certain food ingredients are rejected vs accepted by the body?
