Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome

What is IBS?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive condition characterized by symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Although the exact cause is unknown, IBS is believed to involve gut-brain interactions and can significantly impact quality of life.

Common Causes and Triggers of IBS

IBS symptoms can be influenced by:


  • Dietary Factors: Certain foods, like caffeine, dairy, and processed foods, can trigger symptoms.
  • Stress and Anxiety: Mental health and stress levels often contribute to IBS flare-ups.
  • Gut Health: Imbalances in gut bacteria can impact digestion and exacerbate symptoms.

Evidence-Based Treatments for IBS

Effective methods for managing IBS include:


  • Dietary Adjustments: A low-FODMAP diet and fiber management can alleviate symptoms.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT can help manage the stress and anxiety that often exacerbate IBS.
  • Hypnotherapy: Gut-directed hypnotherapy has shown success in reducing IBS symptoms and promoting gut relaxation.

Taking the Next Step

If IBS is affecting your daily life, support is available. At Bright Futures Therapy, I offer hypno-IBS, an evidence-based therapy bringing together education about diet, stress management and hypnotherapy to help manage your symptoms and improve your well-being. Together, we can work towards a more comfortable, balanced life.
