Sufferers of IBS often experience disparate symptoms including both
constipation and diarrhoea within a short period of time, discomfort and pain in
the bowl and bloated stomach.
It is key that prior to undergoing hypnotherapy for IBS that other illnesses,
which may have similar symptoms have been ruled out, thus it is necessary for
you to check with your doctor prior to seeking hypnotherapy for help with this
condition.
Research has shown that hypnotherapy may help to reduce the symptoms of gut
sensitivity, bowel muscle activity and pain - see

for an interesting article on the work of Professor Peter Whorwell, professor of
gastroenterology for further insight into the effectiveness of hypnosis in the
treatment of this condition.
