If you are looking at this page, you probably already know how debilitating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can be – you may be suffering from severe abdominal cramps, bloating, and, sometimes, diarrhoea or constipation.

There are several clinical studies that show how effective hypnotherapy is at helping with this issue, but this may be the first you have heard about them!

The NHS and NICE support Hypnotherapy as a treatment for IBS, but this option is not always mentioned to patients. One real advocate is Dr Valori, of Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, who has been referring IBS patients for hypnotherapy since the early 1990s and has found it to be highly effective. “To be frank, I have never looked back,” … “it is pretty clear to me that it has an amazing effect,” he said. Dr Valori feels that it’s widely ignored as a treatment because many doctors find it hard to believe that it does work, or to comprehend how it could work, although the research evidence has been available since the 1980s.
