It’s very important to include stress management when considering how to relieve IBS pain. This meditation for IBS is based on gut directed hypnotherapy which is showing to be an effective adjunct therapy for IBS.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a ‘stresssensitive’ gut disorder that affects 1015% of adults. It is a functional disorder, which means tests of the intestinal tract look normal and healthy, yet the bodily processes are irregular or different to usual. Having a nervous belly is different to IBS. A nervous belly occurs only when you anticipate a nerve wracking event, but IBS is chronic and occurs for 3 months or longer.
IBS can create terrible abdominal discomfort such as cramping, diarrhea or constipation that interferes with normal daily activities. Although there is no clear cause, the symptoms are very real. These symptoms can come and go, flare up or become chronic causing great distress because you never know when they will arrive and ruin a day.
Stress doesn’t cause IBS, but stress makes the symptoms worse. And the unpredictable cramps, pain and bowel movements can cause more anxiety for the person having the flareup. It is thought that over time longterm stress can change the composition of your gut microbiome, which can cause further problems.
This IBS meditation will guide you through relaxing your stomach muscles, helping you get rid of the anxiety you hold in your stomach, and give you more control in calming an IBS flareup.
