Does Hypnosis Work For IBS?

Does hypnosis work for IBS?

IBS can cause stomach pains and cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation. And all of these come with discomfort, pain and stress. You may not ever be quite sure when it will strike and so you’ve probably developed routines and habits that seem to help most of the time. There are certain foods you’ll avoid, or maybe you just don’t eat if you are going out. You may need to factor in plenty of extra time for the toilet before you leave the house. You may feel anxious going somewhere new if you aren’t sure where the toilets are. And you may worry about your IBS striking whilst out with others.

One of the most frustrating things about your IBS is that no one can tell you why it started or how to eradicate it. You may worry that perhaps it is something more serious that hasn’t been picked up by the doctors yet. Stress and anxiety make it all worse but it’s hard to avoid feeling on edge if you know you may end up in a ball of pain or needing to run to the toilet.

Your bowel movements and stomach issues can be debilitating and they can start to rule your life.

Whilst there is no specific test to diagnose IBS and no specific treatment for it, it is possible to experience more calmness, relief and control over your stomach. There is a whole wealth of evidence and research that demonstrates that hypnosis can work for IBS to help you manage it and feel better in yourself.

Hypnotherapy and Gut Health

Many people struggle with gut health issues such as IBS and bloating.

Very often gut health issues and IBS can be a result of, or exacerbated by, stress and anxiety. This can lead to even more IBS symptoms, causing even more stress and anxiety. It becomes an ongoing cycle of discomfort and worry.

Stress and anxiety are problematic enough in themselves and they also contribute to the pain, bloating and suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. In fact, reducing stress and anxiety can significantly help many people to calm their IBS (and hypnotherapy can also help with the stress and anxiety created by IBS, and the worry of an episode occurring when you are out and about).

If you are struggling with your stomach and gut health and need some help then do get in touch and we can meet for a free initial consultation to find out if hypnotherapy is right for you and will help you feel better.
