Irritable Bowel Syndrome


What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common, long-term condition of the digestive system. It affects people differently but can cause stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea and constipation.


IBS is relatively widespread and the NHS believes it affects as many as one in five people at some point in their life. While the condition is often lifelong it is widely understood that psychological factors such as Stress and Anxiety have a significant impact on severity of symptoms. This is why hypnotherapy and psychotherapy treatments aimed at resolving the underlying stress or anxiety a person feels can often be the most effective way of managing the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome..


There are a number of symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome and one, or several, of the symptoms may be present at any one time. Typical symptoms are:-


Bloating

Constipation

Abdominal cramps

Wind

For women pain in the left side during sex

Gurgling stomach

Fatigue

Depression

Loss of appetite

Nausea


Irritable bowel syndrome can be difficult to talk about due to the embarrassing nature of the symptoms and so people will often just struggle on in silence. If you suffer with IBS, however, you will already know how limiting the condition can be and how it can affect your ability to get on with your life.
