Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is not a disease, it is a condition characterised by a number of symptoms that affect the bowel and digestive system, although the symptoms are not identical in every person who suffers from IBS. The condition can be worsened by stress and emotional issues because of the release of hormones that provide us with the fight or flight response.

Guidelines suggest that hypnotherapy should be considered for people with IBS who do not respond to medical treatments after 12 months and who develop a continuing symptom profile.

Hypnotherapy can help people with IBS control and reduce the symptoms.  Prior to seeking hypnotherapy for IBS, you should check with your GP to have IBS diagnosed, and also ask whether they have any objections to you seeking hypnotherapy.

The best known protocol for hypnotherapy involves the use of gut-directed hypnotherapy or gut-orientated metaphor. This usually requires a number of sessions.

Hypnotherapy for irritable bowel syndrome is not designed to replace conventional medical health care for your health condition.  You must be diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome and continue with your agreed medical treatment, comply with advice from your specialist or general practitioner, and advise them of your desire to undertake hypnotherapy and follow the medical advice given by your healthcare provider during any hypnotherapy treatment.
