Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of the digestive system and is a chronic condition that affects the large intestine, causing abdominal pain, bloating, cramps, and changes in bowel habits. It can also cause a wide range of other symptoms, including fatigue, abdominal pain, headaches, depression, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating.
The exact cause of IBS is unknown, but it is thought to be linked to a number of factors, including genetics, lifestyle, diet, and mental health. Stress is also believed to play a role in triggering IBS symptoms. The symptoms of IBS can be extremely disruptive, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks and affecting quality of life. Common symptoms may include abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and changes in bowel habits. IBS can also cause other related problems, such as depression, anxiety, and fatigue. This can lead to an overall decrease in quality of life. In some cases, IBS can cause sleep disturbances, which can further worsen the symptoms. Fortunately, IBS is treatable.
Hypnotherapy offers simple and effective solution in the treatment of IBS, allowing you take control of the situation by taking control of you.
Let's Talk About IBS
Trauma, Stress, Anxiety, Overwork
Recent studies have shed light on the role that stress, and overwork play in the development and exacerbation of IBS. Stress and overwork can increase the body’s fight–or–flight response, which triggers the release of hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline.
These hormones can cause changes in the digestive system, leading to symptoms such as bloating, cramping, and diarrhea. In addition, stress and overwork can lead to poor dietary choices, lack of exercise, and inadequate sleep. All of these can contribute to the development of IBS. For example, stress can cause a person to reach for sugary or fatty foods, which can lead to an imbalance in the digestive system and further exacerbate symptoms.
Finally, stress and overwork can lead to an increase in gut bacteria, which can cause inflammation and other changes in the digestive system. This can lead to an increase in symptoms of IBS, such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and changes in bowel habits.
Hypnotherapy can help you to take control of your life and your body, reducing the symptoms of IBS.
Destress Mind and Body
By reducing stress levels, you can help to reduce the severity of your IBS symptoms.
There are many ways to reduce stress levels and combat IBS.
Regular exercise can help to relieve stress and improve mental and physical wellbeing. Relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation and deep breathing can also be beneficial in reducing stress levels. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, avoiding trigger foods and getting enough sleep can help to improve your overall health and reduce stress levels. It
Taking the time to relax and destress can help to improve your quality of life and make it easier to manage your IBS symptoms.
Hypnotherapy sessions for IBS can help you to reduce stress in the mind and body quickly and effectively allowing your body to reset to healthy patterns.
Hypnotherapy can help you to reduce the symptoms on a deeper inner level, by treating the cause, not just the symptoms, helping you to move forward with the creation that is your life.
Gut Brain Connection
The gut–brain connection is an emerging field of research that looks at the powerful relationship between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain.
This connection is a two–way street, with the brain impacting the gut, and the gut impacting the brain. The gastrointestinal tract is the largest part of the human body‘s enteric nervous system (ENS) and is often referred to as our second brain. This is because the ENS is capable of sending and receiving signals from the brain and vice versa. In fact, the ENS has been shown to have its own neural circuitry that can process information independently from the brain.
The ENS also has its own hormones, neurotransmitters, and receptors that interact with the brain. For example, the hormones serotonin, dopamine, and gamma–aminobutyric acid (GABA) are all found in the gut and the brain. When the levels of these hormones in the gut are out of balance, it can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating. Similarly, an imbalanced gut microbiome can lead to inflammation, which has been linked to a variety of mental health issues.
Additionally, research has suggested that the gut microbiome can influence behavior and cognitive processes in a variety of ways. For instance, certain bacteria have been shown to produce molecules that can affect the brain, leading to changes in behavior, mood, and emotion.
The gut–brain connection is an incredibly complex system, and more research is needed to better understand the relationship between the two. However, it is clear that the gut and the brain are intimately connected, and that taking care of our gut health is an important part of overall health and wellbeing.
Hypnotherapy can help you to improve the gut brain connection so that communication is optimal and IBS symptoms are reduced.
FODMAPS
FODMAPS (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) are a group of short–chain carbohydrates found in food. They are poorly absorbed by the body and can cause symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain and diarrhea in individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
What Foods Contain FODMAPS?
FODMAPS are found in a variety of foods, including wheat, rye, garlic, onions, legumes, dairy products, apples, pears, and stone fruits. Other high FODMAP foods include honey, agave, and artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol.
How Can FODMAPS Affect IBS?
When people with IBS eat high–FODMAP foods, the FODMAPs are not absorbed properly by the body. The FODMAPs remain in the gut, where they can cause symptoms such as bloating, cramping, gas, and diarrhea.
What Are the Benefits of Following a Low–FODMAP Diet? Following a low–FODMAP diet can help reduce symptoms of IBS. A low–FODMAP diet eliminates high–FODMAP foods, which can reduce bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. People on a low–FODMAP diet may also find that they have more energy and can more easily manage their symptoms.
FODMAPS are a group of short–chain carbohydrates found in a variety of foods. They are not absorbed properly by the body and can cause symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain and diarrhea in individuals with IBS. Following a low–FODMAP diet can help reduce symptoms of IBS.
Hypnotherapy sessions can include education on sticking to a fomaps diet if required.

Relaxation
Hypnotherapy creates a trance state, a condition of intense physical and mental relaxation. While this relaxation alone may offer some relief from trauma symptoms, it also facilitates and enhances relevant additional therapies.
