How to Beat Irritable Bowel SyndromeEveryone has the odd tummy upset, but if you find you are constantly
having painful cramps, constipation diarrhoea and a feleing of bloating then
you could be suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Doctors are
still not sure what causes the condition but the good news is that you can do
things to control it. Hypnotherapy has been proven to be an effective
treatment. More than 80 per cent of people with IBS who try it find they
improve. So how does it work? Experiencing hypnosis is a pleasant
and natural state which you will recognise if you have ever become so absorbed
in a film or a book that you were not aware of the world around you. A
trained hypnotherapist can work with you to use this state to anchor new ideas
in your subconcious mind. For IBS in particular we can work together to help
you to control the pain in your gut, and to reduce bloating. We can also work,
using guided imagery and meditation to reduce anxiety and help you get your
confidence back. Many people also find that stress can act as a trigger
for IBS. Again hypnotherapy can help here by working with you to find better
ways to manage your stress. If you come to us at wellthought we can give you a

you to find out what triggers your IBS. This is often stress but some foods can
play a role. Another thing a good hypnotherapist will do is
encourage you to keep a food diary. You know best how your body reacts to diet.
And you may find that certain foods act as a trigger which makes your IBS
worse. Wheat products and dairy products can be frequent problems. If you do
find that this is the case then you might want to consider moving to gluten
free or dairy free alternatives.
