Hello johnnyboy-ga,

I searched on the terms "IBS" and "acupressure"
(://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&q=IBS+acupressure).

The site at http://www.wholehealthmd.com/hc/ibs/selfcare/0,1954,,00.html
has the information you need.  The link I have given contains another
internal link to detailed information about how to do acupressure. 
However, since the page provides links to other self-help techniques
with Bach flower remedies and yoga, I thought this first page might be
of potential interest to you.

I can't usefully summarise the acupressure information here, because
it depends a lot on the associated diagrams that you will find on this
site.

Other alternative slef-help approaches include biofeedback
(http://www.meijer.com/pharmacy/Medi_alt_display.asp?mzfile=200090
)and meditation ( http://www.meijer.com/pharmacy/Medi_alt_display.asp?mzfile=200340
)

Some books on self-treatment with acupressure, although not
specifically focusing on IBS, are listed at
http://www.acupressure.com/catalog/self-acupressure.html and at
http://www.sandwellmind.co.uk/pages/acupressure.htm and some articles
extracted from a self-help acupressure book are available at
http://www.acupressure.com/articles.htm

You can even get a Palm application this topic:

Hope this helps
