IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome

If you are reading this page then it is likely that you or someone you know suffers from IBS – Irritable Bowel Syndrome – so you probably know most of the facts about this dishabillitating condition:
There is no known cause of IBS
Doctors diagnose it by ruling out what it isn’t
There appear to be no generally effective treatments
Drugs either work for a limited time, only on some individuals or are too expensive
It has significant impact on quality of life and creates considerable anxiety and stress
Most doctors really don’t know what to do with it
Hypnotherapy for IBS seems to work by lowering the general level of anxiety, lowering the perception of pain and discomfort (which is related to anxiety) and also by directing positive images and found only in the brain itself.

Now the medical bit!
The gut has it’s own separate nervous system – called the Enteric Nervous System (ENS), which has a full set of neurons and neurotransmitters normally seperate from the main central nervous system, and is connected by special large nerve fibres to the brain. Thus it is possible that the bowel can be influenced by images and thoughts in the brain to a much greater extent than previously thought.
Clinical Hypnotherapy is now acknowledged by the medical profession as an effective treatment for IBS. Although Clinical Hypnotherapy can help with IBS, it is still a medical condition, it CAN NOT cure it.

If you think you have IBS or are experiencing Irritable Bowel symptoms, then you MUST speak to your doctor in the first instance to get their diagnosis and advice on treatment.
