| Treatment for IBS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a very common condition in our society. It affects a third of the population at some time or other and about one in ten people suffer symptoms bad enough to go to the doctor. It can be painful and distressing.
Hypnotherapy can help with the symptoms of IBS but diagnosis should be confirmed by a qualified medical practitioner before you seek treatment from me.
The symptoms of Irritable Bowel may include:
- Abdominal pain and spasm
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
It is well known that there is a strong link between anxiety and IBS and most suffers report that the symptoms of IBS are related to stress.
The autonomic nervous system responsible for the flight/flight response is aroused during stress. One of the functions of the autonomic nervous system is to divert blood to the muscles of the body which will be required to either run away from a predator or fight. It is not a priority for the body to digest food during a stressful experience so the digestive system's blood supply and actvitiy is reduced during excessively stressful periods. If you become chronically stressed then this can lead to digestive problems such as IBS.
