Question

Have you ever tried hypnosis for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome?

Answer 1

I have tried hypnosis and it really helped.  Diet and stress DO NOT CAUSE IT.  They only make it worse.  I had a colonoscopy and found pre-cancerous polyps, so it drives me crazy when people say that.  Like the polyps were caused by stress as well.......  Just plain stupidity.

Peppermint in large doses helps alot as well.

I have used and do hypnosis for many different clients and for myself as well and find it very helpful.

Answer 2

If you want to work to deal with your IBS then you should change you diet and work with a psychologist to treat your stress.  Oddly enough, IBS is most common in women with bad relationships with their father, further adding to the evidence that a psychologist is the best treatment.

Answer 3

No.  The causes of IBS have to do with stress and diet.  Deal with stress and deal with diet and you won't have IBS.  Hypnosis for releasing stress works, as does hypnosis for poor diet and lack of motivation for exercise does, also.  

Answer 4

Hello Chick

IBS has two causes, stress or diet, sometimes both.

With regard to diet, find out what causes you problems & eliminate them from your diet.

With regards to the stress, yes hypnosis is a wonderful treatment for stress & therefore could help with IBS, as can meditation.
