What causes IBS?

There may be many contributing factors to IBS, one of which may be a severe gut infection. There may also be the chance of some distortion of the signals sent to the brain from the gut area.

I have noticed with my clients that most often, one of the key elements of IBS (whether you realise it or not) is stress. Stress or anxiety (different sides of the same coin) can be a major factor in the underlying symptoms of IBS, having many different effects on the body but particularly in gut disorders.

We have all experienced the butterflies in our tummy feeling which can be felt at times of worry, or even times when we are happy. This is because the gut is full of nerve endings and lack of blood flow to this area can help us feel that sensation at times.Hypnosis is very effective at controlling stress levels, and hypnotherapy has been proven to alleviate these types of problems enormously. One of the elements of using hypnosis for IBS is to ensure that blood flows freely around the whole gut arera.If you can imagine an engine not receiving petrol enough to burn fuel properly then you can see that if the gut does not have enough blood flowing around all the tiny capillaries, then it cant function properly.
