IBS
Hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic but manageable condition that significantly affects the quality of life. It is common in Australia, accounting for around 50% of consultations with gastroenterologists. While IBS cannot be effectively treated with medication alone, treatments may help relieve some symptoms.
IBS is characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and alternating episodes of constipation and diarrhoea. Though the exact cause is unknown, factors such as changes in routine, emotional stress, infections, and diet can trigger flare-ups.
