IBS

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Numerous studies have been done on the effectiveness of Clinical Hypnosis on patients suffering with IBS, and time and again the studies show marked and rapid improvement in the symptoms that patients have.

What Is IBS?
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder which is caused by a problem with the way the gut works (your gut is the bit between the mouth and the anus). Upto 20% of people will develop IBS with twice as many women as men suffering with the problem.

Typical Symptoms
Although IBS affects everyone in slightly different ways there are common symptoms, these include:

  • Stomach Pain - Perhaps one of the most common symptom of IBS can range from mild discomfort to major cramping, and varies between people and between occurrences.  The pain is often relieved after going to the toilet, or breaking wind. 
  • Bloating - You stomach may blow up a little, and an increase in wind is likely.
  • Toilet Habits (poo!) - Yes, there's no getting away from it, the biggest symptom of IBS isall about bowel movements. Unfortunately, like much of the rest of IBS there are no hard and fast rules (pardon the pun) that define IBS. Some people have diarrhea, some have constipation and diarrhea. Sometimes it comes as little pellets, sometimes as ribbons, sometimes with mucus.
  • Other Symptoms - nausea, headaches, belching, tiredness, backache, muscle pain, and many other
