Re: "If I sort out my gut and fixed it and got rid of the anxiety, I would still have the memories of ocd rituals. Do you think that something like hypnotherapy to wipe and change my thinking would help after I fixed my gut?"

I would tap on "this fear of contaminating my body with my hands" or whatever words fit for you. Keep tapping until the fear of contamination subsides. Sometimes I will take it to the extreme and use a phrase like "afraid this contamination will kill me" because that is what is often underneath it all. Tweet
