IBS

Hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

"Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the digestive system. It causes symptoms like stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation. These tend to come and go over time, and can last for days, weeks or months at a time." - nhs.UK

Hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

IBS affects 1 in 5 people in the UK at some time during their life. Symptoms vary and can range from mild and uncomfortable to severely debilitating to the point where they impair quality of life. As a result, sufferers of IBS may also become anxious or depressed, the symptoms of which can, in turn, make IBS symptoms worse or last longer.

Thanks to the pioneering research of Peter Whorwell, Professor of Medicine & Gastroenterology at the University of Manchester, it has been demonstrated since the 1980s that over 60% of IBS sufferers who undertake hypnotherapy see long-term improvement and even the complete disappearance of symptoms, often with no recurrence. Later clinical studies into hypnotherapy for IBS have shown long-term success rates of 75 to 90%.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines now recommend Hypnotherapy for management of IBS in adults.

"I had hypnotherapy to deal with severe IBS symptoms & had several online sessions. I felt reassured by Elaine's friendly but professional attitude & found that the emphasis on positivity really worked well . In around two months my IBS symptoms improved & I felt able to take control of other things too, with Elaine’s support. I strongly recommend Happy Hypnotherapy to anyone dealing with tension-related issues."

"Worked with Elaine for 6 months and it was a fantastic experience. She was helpful, understanding and extremely supportive. Spent the first 3-4 months listening to her audio script every night and then gradually transitioned to no longer requiring it to manage with stress and anxiety. Would highly recommend to those who have never done hypnotherapy before and are open minded enough to try it."
