IBS TREATMENT IN MANCHESTER - YOUR PERMANENT SOLUTION TO IBS SYMPTOMS

There are many ways to manage the symptoms of your IBS such as antispasmodic drugs, which are not always effective, altering eating habits and a great one is managing your stress. However these management techniques do not work for many people which means that some people really struggle with their symptoms of IBS. Some individuals with IBS get some relief from symptoms by taking the antispasmodic drugs which can alleviate IBS symptoms but this benefit stops shortly after the individual stops taking the medication. However, the benefits gained from hypnotherapy last a lot longer - sometimes many years, however it the cause of your IBS has been located, then the relief is permanent.

Hypnotherapy has been proven to help reduce the symptoms of IBS, and as mentioned, sometimes permanently. Hypnotherapy is well known for reducing the effects of stress, which is a factor known to aggravate symptoms, thus alleviating discomfort and pain. Furthermore with the help of visualization techniques hypnotherapy can help calm the digestive tract, helping it function more smoothly. According to latest research, hypnotherapy has helped over 78% of IBS sufferers who underwent hypnotherapy treatment. Now that for any therapy is phenomenal.

There are a number of things that you can do to help get some relieve from the crippling symptoms of IBS. Below are a few excellent ideas to help you begin to take back control!

• Drink plenty of water as this is well known for cleansing the system - preferably up to 2 litres a day
• Introduce more fibre into your diet - but do this gradually or it may make symptoms worse
• Take a regular probiotic - tests show that these really help minimize symptoms and sufferers notice a difference when the stop taking them
• Avoid foods and beverages that make the symptoms worse such as acidic foods (cider, apples etc), spicy goods, milk, wheat and caffeine
• Avoid eating large meals - keep to smaller more regular meals
• Keep a daily journal of food and beverages to isolate those that make symptoms worse or easier still, get an intolerance test done. Hair analysis is one of the simplest and cost effective ways and is widely available on the web
• Reduce your stress levels - as stress aggravates IBS symptoms it makes sense to reduce your stress levels. Try meditation, hypnosis, yoga, self-hypnosis, visualization, listening to relaxing music
• Increase your tolerance to stress - change your perspective on life. Look for the positive things in your life and about you and other people. People with the 'glass is half full' mentality suffer less than those with the mentality the 'glass is half empty'.
• Take regular exercise - exercise strengthens the body and the gut, as well as helping relieve tension from stress

THE BRAIN-GUT LINK

A  fascinating fact with regard to digestive problems is the link between our gut and our emotions and this link has been recognized in most cultures and for many centuries. After all it is not uncommon to hear someone say 'I can't stomach it' when they find some event or change in their life that is distressing to them. I am sure you are aware too of just how sensitive your digestive system is to your emotions. Consider how your stomach feels before an exam, interview or giving a presentation or when you receive bad news. So the link between our emotions and our gut is nothing new at all.

Recent advances in neuroscience have found that all the neurotransmitters that control our brain activity can also be found in our gut too and these neurotransmitters can communicate directly with each other, further reinforcing the link between the mind and stomach. Furthermore, medications given to treat emotional disorders, for example sedatives, anti-anxiety medications and anti-depressants, directly affect the levels of serotonin in the brain AND in our gut.

It is also a well known fact that the biggest barrier to overcoming illness or people achieving their full potential is fear. Fear is an emotion which has a major impact on our stomach and digestive systems. We can treat the symptoms of IBS, however to get rid of the IBS symptoms permanently, we need to confront our fear and release it. This is what makes analytical hypnotherapy so perfect for resolving IBS as it locates the fear (or other cause) to release it and let go of the IBS symptoms permanently.

Anger and stress also impact negatively on our digestive system and can cause gastritis, ulcers and gut fermentation. So it is no surprise that as stress levels increase in our modern day society there has also been an increase in stomach/gut related problems.

Hypnotherapy can help you confront your fears, anger and reduce the effects of stress on your life and your body and can relieve debilitating symptoms of IBS and other stomach related problems and can do this permanently. However it is important that before you commence therapy that you have your stomach condition assessed and diagnosed by your GP or doctor first.
