Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Symptom Managment and Relief

ALBURY, Australia - Oct. 23, 2018 - PRLog -- Millions of people suffer from  Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) worldwide and more and more people are being diagnosed each year, while others remain unaware they have it.

Regional areas where I work, such as Albury and Wodonga in NSW, Australia also suffer greatly as there are generally a lack of resources and services. This often means people travel to capital cities such as Canberra or Melbourne to get treatment, or just try to mange their symptoms.

IBS affects many differently, ranging from having diarrhea, constipation or both. People also must go under extensive testing before a diagnosis to rule out what may be other life threatening illnesses. Because there is no known cause to IBS, it is a collection of symptoms persisting over 12 weeks with no exact treatment or cure.

Many physicians will try various medications, diet changes, prescribe exercise and other therapies such as acupuncture. These may work to some degree but often people stiff find they are affected by IBS in some way. This can lead to increased anxiety and stress, depression, time off work and even social withdrawal as people try their best to manage the issues IBS creates.

Hypnosis has been shown to be an empirically validated first line treatment for the symptoms of IBS. Though it is not a cure, through a simple 6 to 8 session program people begin to find relief and reduction in their symptoms which often haven't responded to other treatments, which may even worsen them. This especially useful for those in regional areas in NSW such as The Riverina, Wangaratta, Albury and Wodonga.

By using the relaxation responses promoted by hypnosis and mindfulness and using the techniques and methods of neuroplasticity the aim is to rewire the brain, body and endocrine systems to working back in synchronicity. This begins to reduce the symptoms created in the gut and mind to achieve a healthier state of being. Most of all these are no side effects and many remain symptom free or with minimal issues years after sessions.

If you or someone you know suffers from IBS, let them read this and spread the word that there is hope out there.
