What is IBS?

IBS can affect the gut anywhere from the mouth to the anus, which can account for the diversity of symptoms seen in this condition.

In IBS, the abnormalities in peristalsis i.e. the movement of the muscles in the colon are thought to be uncoordinated.Instead of contracting and relaxing in waves they contract irregularly and tend to spasm.

Some people call it nervous colon and there is a hypnosis concept that says, ‘Anything that stress will make worst, hypnosis will make better.”

The bowel is heavily supplied with nerve endings and there is another thought that IBS might be due to hypersensitivity in those nerve endings, which may set up a vicious cycle between the bowel and the brain resulting in bowel symptoms.

A Medical G.P. should always diagnose IBS since the symptoms of IBS can resemble those of other bowel diseases.

Approximately 25% of people in the western world suffer with IBS.

Medical Research

One of the leading researchers in last 20 years in the field of IBS is Peter Whorwell, Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology, School of Medicine, Manchester UK.

He believes that hypnosis is the ideal treatment as there is no structural damage to the body. The sufferer can learn how to influence and gain control of their gut function and then it seems to be able to change the way the brain modulates their gut activity
And it’s in this area where hypnosis works well.

Among psychological treatments tested for IBS, hypnosis treatment has shown the highest success rate in replicated studies. The results have routinely produced positive results in an astounding 80% or more of the treated patients.

 The main theory behind the success of IBS is that the relaxation improves blood flow to the gut… something that stress tends to inhibit…. and so improves digestion and the movement of food through the bowel.
