Overcome IBS -
Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Try and remember what it was like before IBS symptoms started affecting you. That freedom. That care-free attitude towards life. Remember what it was like to be able to just go out and do whatever it is you want without the fear of suddenly and unexpectedly needing access to a toilet.

You can live that life again.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome, more commonly referred to as IBS, is a disorder that affects the nervous system of the gut. IBS symptoms can include any combination of constipation, diarrhoea, or both, as well as abdominal pain, gas, bloating, altered bowel movements and spasms.

IBS has also been known as rotten gut, nervous stomach, irritable stomach or spastic colon, and is often cited as the second leading cause of absence from work.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

 

There is hope

 

"There is now good evidence that hypnotherapy benefits a substantial proportion of patients with irritable bowel syndrome and that improvement is maintained for many years. Most patients seen in secondary care with this condition also suffer from a wide range of noncolonic symptoms such as backache and lethargy, as well as a number of musculoskeletal, urological, and gynaecological problems. These features do not typically respond well to conventional medical treatment approaches, but fortunately, their intensity is often reduced by hypnosis. The mechanisms by which hypnosis mediates its benefit are not entirely clear, but there is evidence that, in addition to its psychological effects, it can modulate gastrointestinal physiology, alter the central processing of noxious stimuli, and even influence immune function."

Hypnotherapy for irritable bowel syndrome: the response of colonic and noncolonic symptoms.
Journal of psychosomatic research
June 2008

"There is accumulating and compelling evidence that hypnotherapy is an effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. Recently, studies have shown that hypnotherapy has beneficial effects that are long lasting, with most patients maintaining improvement, and with decreased consultation and medication needs in the long term."
