Hypnosis for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, affects millions of Americans. Gut pain, bloating and unreliable digestion can limit your life to bland food and a safe distance to the nearest restroom.

Did you know that IBS is one of the leading causes of missed work days in the United States?

There is a specific protocol of hypnotherapy that has been proven to help you relieve the stress of IBS, decrease your sensitivity to discomfort and actually control many of your symptoms. 

A recent BBC News article (March 2010) announces that yet another prestigious doctor endorses hypnotherapy for IBS.  Dr. Roland Valori, editor of Frontline Gastroenterology, kept track of 100 patients with IBS and found that 90 of them had symptoms that "improved significantly" with hypnosis.

Did you know that many people who suffer from IBS actually have more nerve endings in their digestive tract?

For some people, the hypnotherapy session that helps desensitize the colon is enough to bring about significant relief.

A long-term study published in the scientific journal Gut in 2003 found that 71% of patients who received hypnotherapy reported feeling better after a course of up to 12 sessions. The results were long-lasting, too. Of this group of more than 200 IBS patients who received hypnotherapy, more than 80% of those who made progress continued improvement a year or more later.
