An audit of 250 unselected IBS patients between the ages of 17 and 79.50 male, 200 female, were treated with hypnotherapy alone over 2 years.All patients had 12 sessions of hypnotherapy over a 3 month period and had some homework to do inbetween times. Patients completed questionaires to score bowel and extracolonic symptoms, quality of life, anxiety and depression.
The results showed a marked improvement in all symptoms measured, underall headings. 232 patients completed the full course, 18 stopping part way because they didnt need further treatment.

Five years later 204 patients of the same group were questioned.
81% had further improvement
19% no further improvement
Noone was worse.
Quality of life, anxiety and depression were significantly improved
Did you know that stress plays a big part in the onsett and continuation of irritable bowel syndrome?
It's amazing that your digestive system contains just as many nerve endings as your entire spinal cord. If you are stressed, tense, or anxious your body is in survival mode, assimilation and digestion will be slower. Thus, the nutrients in your food will not be utilised properly, and the waste not disposed of properly. Simply put, your body will not operate well.
One thing that will happen is your intestines will hold food in pockets and it will fester. You will feel uncomfortable, bloated, constipated, your weight will increase, and you will feel lethargic. Your body will be working overtime to do jobs that should be easy.
