IBS & Hypnotherapy

If you’re suffering with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chances are you are suffering from symptoms such as constipation, diarrhoea, bloating and tummy pain. As if that wasn’t bad enough, there are additional symptoms, such as anxiety, stress and worry. These go hand in hand creating a vicious, never-ending circle of discomfort and even more stress!

IBS has been linked to 2 main causes.

1. Eating foods that you are intolerant to.

2. Miscommunication in your gut – brain connection (caused by stress, anxiety, worry etc).

So, let’s explore these then….

Food intolerances

Eating foods that you’re intolerant to, can cause havoc in your gut. Intolerances are usually caused an inability to digest and absorb foodstuffs. Symptoms to a food intolerance can begin as quickly as 30 minutes from eating the offending food; however, many people may take up to 48 hours to develop symptoms. Trying to pinpoint an offending food just using a food diary can be tricky for this very reason. Food intolerances do not usually present as life-threatening but can affect every-day life. This can be extremely uncomfortable, limit activities, and be very draining.

Gut – Brain miscommunication

Your gut and brain are in constant communication, sending signals back and forth all day. These signals are sent via the vagus nerve, this nerve connects your gut and brain.

The gut-brain connection is very real. It is crucial to improve communications between gut and brain. A troubled gut can send signals to the brain and visa versa. Keeping stress and worries low, and anxiety in check can massively impact IBS symptoms positively.

Many clients come to me as a last resort, after they have exhausted other avenues and self-help options. These have included keeping a food diary, taking over the counter and prescribed medications, tried eliminating various foodstuffs or have tried different ways to reduce their stress levels.

Is there another option? Simply yes!
