Using your mind to help manage and relieve your IBS symptoms
People with IBS are more likely to have SIBO than the rest of the population. However, not everyone with an IBS diagnosis tests positive for SIBO. SIBO and IBS share many symptoms, and it’s possible to experience both at the same time. Gut directed hypnotherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for the relief of IBS and SIBO.
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is defined as excessive microbiome in the upper GI tract (small intestine) which feed on food moving through the small intestine. If the movement of food is too slow, bacteria numbers become excessive. SIBO symptoms include bloating, distention, flatulence, abdominal discomfort and changes in stool form. Gut directed hypnotherapy can help speed up transit of food through the small intestine and so help deprive the bacteria of food.
IBS is characterized by a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. However, one symptom that often flies under the radar but significantly affects quality of life is nausea. Find out more about the causes of IBS driven nausea and how to gain relief.
