Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects approximately 10-20% of the general population. It is the most common disease diagnosed by hospital gastroenterologists and one of the most common disorders seen by GPs.
Sometimes IBS is referred to as spastic colon, mucous colitis, spastic colitis, nervous stomach or irritable colon. IBS is characterised by a group of symptoms in which abdominal pain or discomfort is associated with a change in bowel pattern, such as loose or more frequent bowel movements or diarrhoea, and/or hard or less frequent bowel movements or constipation.
IBS is a debilitating condition and it can have a devastating effect on a sufferer’s quality of life. Symptoms of IBS result from what appears to be a disturbance in the interaction between the gut or intestines, the brain and the automatic nervous system that alters regulation of bowel movement.
Clinical hypnotherapy can help people with IBS by significantly reducing stress related attacks. IBS sufferers can also be taught techniques to deal with any symptoms and reduce their onset.
