IBS - Beyond the Bathroom For a Change
Posted on June 24, 2008
There are literally millions of people in the world right now suffering from a condition that they are embarrassed to talk about. They are scared, nervous, and do not understand what is happening. Common symptoms are bloating, cramping, diarrhea or constipation, and feeling full. You may have to make several trips to the restroom in a short amount of time, and feel as though you spend much of your day there. If this all sounds familiar, know that you are not alone. You may be suffering from a condition known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Or IBS.
If you were to look on the internet for a cure/ medicine to treat the ailment, I think you would be surprised to find none. There have been prescriptions in the past; however, they were recently pulled off the market due to the severe side effects that were being reported. There are other alternatives. If you read about IBS, and study what some of the common remedies are, you will find that one of the only recommendations for relief is hypnosis. Hypnosis has been studied and acknowledged as effective by a large population of the medical field. There are other alternative healthcare options, but none as widely accepted as successful for treatment.
To define IBS has proved difficult. The best definition thus far is as follows: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common intestinal condition. Its cause is unknown and there is currently no cure. IBS is characterized by abdominal pain, changes in bowel movements, gassiness, nausea, and other symptoms. IBS is caused quite simply from the manner by which your intestines push your food through. For people with IBS, this is not done properly.
IBS, by many estimates, has affected at least 30% of the population at some time in their lives. The numbers are staggering. IBS is thought to be a virus that settles in your intestines and is brought forth again by stress. Others believe the virus begins with an illness, like the flu, and does not go away after the flu symptoms have resolved themselves. No matter how it begins, the one thing that remains common is that people are not aware of how to get IBS under control. By using hypnosis as treatment, a person can alleviate the symptoms within a matter of days. Hypnosis works by utilizing your subconscious mind to send the correct stimuli to your intestinal tract. You do not need the knowledge in you conscious mind, simply use a hypnosis CD to instill the necessary information that will enable your subconscious to make the changes. It is perhaps better understood by saying that hypnosis trains the part of your brain that works on everyday functions you dont think about, like swallowing, breathing, blinking, etc. to calm and work in the manner it was meant to with the specific parts of the body devoted to digestion in this case. The main theory behind the success of hypnosis for IBS is that the relaxation improves blood flow to the gut - something that stress tends to inhibit - and so improves digestion and the movement of food through the bowel.
Please always remember to check with a physician before you begin any alternative treatment. A good hypnotherapist will require your regular doctor to sign a release before beginning any kind of sessions with you. This is to ensure that there is not an underlying condition causing your problems that is much more serious and would require medical treatment from a traditional M.D. Discuss all of your options for treatment with your family doctor to decide what method will work best for you.
