Hypnosis Relieves Symptoms of IBS
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastro-intestinal
(GI) condition with no known cause or cure. It causes the GI
tract to move too quickly (hypermotility) or too slowly
(hypomotility) and the resulting symptoms include any one or a
combination of the following: diarrhea, constipation, cramping,
gas, pain or bloating. Symptoms usually run in cycles lasting
for days, months or years. IBS can be disabling making sufferers
feel like prisoners in their own home. IBS affects 35 million
Americans, 4 of 5 are women, and it is more prevalent than
asthma, diabetes, acid reflux and depression combined. There are
likely millions who never pursue treatment due to embarrassment.
10% of all primary care physician visits are IBS related. It is
the 2nd leading cause for employee absenteeism and costs the US
8 billion dollars/year. Diagnosing IBS is a process of exclusion
which means a physician needs to rule out conditions such as
lactose intolerance, Chron's disease, bacterial infections,
parasites, dumping syndrome, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory
bowel disease, celiac and gallbladder disease before a diagnosis
of IBS can be determined. The onset of symptoms ranges between
the ages of 20-29 in adults and 9-11 in children. Onset of
symptoms can sometimes be traced back to a traumatic event,
illness, injury or accident. Some clients just begin having
symptoms early in life for no apparent reason at all. IBS is
also known to be familial. Many IBS sufferers go through life
with no idea of what normal gastro-intestinal function is like.
IBS symptoms can be aggravated by stress, chocolate, caffeine,
alcohol, foods high in animal or vegetable fat, beverages
containing dyes, artificial sweeteners, food or medication
sensitivities or hormone fluctuation but none are the cause.
Some research indicates that IBS sufferers may have an abundance
of specialized cells in the intestinal tract making them more
reactive and sensitive. Irregular GI motility is responsible for
the discomfort and inconsistent bowel movements. If the GI tract
moves too quickly the body doesn't get enough time to absorb
what it needs resulting in diarrhea. If it moves too slowly the
body absorbs too much resulting in constipation. This erratic
pattern can dramatically affects how nutrients are absorbed and
how effective the colon absorbs waste out of the blood stream.
(1) Traditional medical intervention includes high fiber diets,
antispasmodics to relieve cramping and spasms; antidepressants
to relieve the emotional burden and antidiarrhea medication.
Research indicates that this approach offers symptom relief to
only 25%. Because IBS is not life threatening, is not a
precursor to acute illness and is undetectable with diagnostic
equipment, sufferers are usually told they have to live with it.
Hypnosis is the process of accessing subconscious thought which
is the control center. The reason hypnosis is so effective for
weight loss and smoking cessation is because the subconscious is
where all of our habits, patterns, values and beliefs reside.
Clients can be empowered to reframe their view of nutrition,
exercise and to release unhealthy patterns in favor more
positive ones. The subconscious mind also regulates our body's
inner network of complicated mechanisms. It regulates our heart
and respiratory rate, co-ordinates every step we take and
controls the thousands of metabolic functions everyday of our
lives. With unique access to this immensely powerful place
hypnosis can positively redirect specific areas of GI function.
Hypnosis as a treatment for IBS has been researched for 20 years
and although it does not offer a cure it stands alone as the
most significant long term symptom relief solution. The success
rate of hypnosis relieving IBS symptoms including abdominal
pain, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation is consistently
high ranging from 70-95%. Symptom relief usually lasts at least
two years. Clients who do not respond as well to hypnosis
treatment for IBS relief are those over 50 years of age, who are
less open to process of hypnosis, those with psychiatric
disorders, and one study indicates males with diarrhea as their
major symptom. (2) For decades hypnosis has been one of the most
misunderstood and overlooked holistic sciences but that is
changing quickly. The best way to gain acceptance by the
mainstream medical community is with the empirical evidence from
scientific research. For 20 years researchers like Olafur S.
Palsson, Peter Whorwell, William Gonsalkorale and L.A. Houghton
have been studying the benefits of hypnosis for symptoms of IBS.
The following are brief descriptions of some of their findings.
One study compared 25 severe IBS clients treated with hypnosis
to 25 patients with similar symptom severity treated with other
methods. The hypnosis group showed that in addition to
significant IBS symptom improvement they had fewer MD visits,
lost less work time and rated an improved quality of life.
Hypnosis clients unable to work before treatment went back to
work afterwards. The study shows the economic benefits and
improved health-related quality of life. (3) Another study which
is the largest to date followed 250 IBS clients who were treated
with 12 hypnosis sessions over a 3-month period and they also
listened to recorded sessions at home. The conclusions showed
dramatic improvement in all IBS symptoms. The average reduction
in symptoms was more than 50% as well as increased quality of
life and relief from anxiety and depression. (4) Lastly, the
longest study to date treated and followed 204 IBS clients for
up to 6 years. 71% showed immediate improvement, and 81% of this
group was still improved years later. Quality of life scores
were also still significantly improved at follow-up. Patients
had less MD visits and required less medication long-term after
hypnotherapy. Results indicate that most hypnosis clients
benefit for at least five years. (5) (1) Melissa J. Roth C.Ht.,
