Hypnotherapy is not only a treatment of stress, it is the best treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Although in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, there is no abnormality of the gut, it is very distressing to the individual who has it. It is very common and figures show that as much as 20% of the global population has or had IBS. It is the most common condition seen by Gastroentologist. It is a heavy burden on Health Professionals and Health Providers. Industry loses billions annually from absenteeism and the sufferer can be in discomfort for many years.

Even though there are numerous treatment available, hypnotherapy remains the best IBS treatment and the benefits remain for years. Most experts think this type of treatment should be reserved for severe or refractory IBS. If fact it works better in newly diagnosed IBS.

To understand why hypnotherapy is effective in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, you must understand how hypnotherapy actually works. During hypnotherapy, the hypnotist attempts to create a trance state. The main intention is to put the subject into Theta brainwave state. Awake and alert you are at Beta state.

When you are at Theta brainwave state, you are hyper-suggestible. Suggestions from the hypnotherapist will reach the Subconscious Mind because the filters that block contrary information is relaxed. In addition in Theta state, the hypnotherapist has access to the reality generator of REM sleep. In the Theta state, visualisation becomes very very powerful. Visualisation in the REM state is not different from having a dream. At the time it is very real. The brain cannot differentiate real and imagined reality in the REM state.

Visualisation and post hypnotic suggestions in Theta State in very effective. In Theta state, the hypnotherapist can gradually replace all the layers of negative information and replace them with positive ones. The benefits only result after there is change in belief, perception and expectation of your IBS. Relapse after hypnotherapy develops when doubts creep into the mind of the IBS sufferer. If the IBS sufferer believes the symptoms of IBS will return, it will.

As long as the subject continue to believe that he or she is in total control, the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome will stay away. All IBS patients should have hypnotherapy and the earlier the better. Well established sufferers have several layers of negative information in their mind and it will take longer to replace with positive info while newly diagnosed IBS patients will respond to only a few sessions because the hypnotherapist has less work to do. In refractory or severe IBS patients it could take more than 12 session of hypnotherapy and home self hypnosis to produce satisfactory results. There are, however, several case studies where the results are outstanding.

It is clear that whatever explanation experts can offer, the simplest one is that the hypnotherapist is replacing negative with positive in the Subconscious Mind. So does it not makes sense to have hypnotherapy at the earliest opportunity and save yourself years of distress from a condition where the large gut is normal?
