Further Information about IBS

Professor Peter Whorwell who is Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology in the University of Manchester’s Medical School and Director of the South Manchester Functional Bowel Service.

“In the UK pioneer Professor Peter Whorwell, Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology in the University of Manchester’s Medical School and Director of the South Manchester Functional Bowel Service. Most recently two hundred and fifty patients who have suffered from IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME IBS for over two years had failed to receive benefit from other treatments, were given twelve one-hour sessions, during which they were given an explanation of how the gut works and what causes their symptoms.

Patients scored themselves on such issues as presence and severity of IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME IBS symptoms, quality of life, and level of anxiety and depression. Almost all mentioned that their sense of overall well-being increased enormously. Any anxiety and depression eased considerably. The only participants that did not improve particularly well to hypnotherapy were males with diarrhoea.”

“This large-scale review confirms the knowledge of the benefits of treating IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME IBS with Hypnotherapy. Symptoms such as pain and distension, as well as the level of so-called “disease interference” with life, changed intensely for most participants, with just three months of weekly

Hypnotherapy treatment. The findings also indicate that treating IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME IBS patients with Hypnotherapy can be very cost-effective, in particular due to the fact that relief from this notoriously hard-to-treat condition can be sustainable as improvements are usually permanent.”

“IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME IBS is ideal for treatment with hypnosis, as there is no structural damage to the body,” explained Professor Whorwell. “During the hypnotherapy, sufferers learn how to influence and gain control of their gut functions, and then seem to be able to change the way the brain modulates their gut activity.” With 78% success from his most recent study Professor Whorwell believes that hypnotherapy could be an extremely effective treatment for the condition; and a less expensive alternative to new, costly drugs coming onto the market. “We’ve found it to help all the symptoms, whereas some of the drugs available reduce only a few,” he goes on to explain. “As IBS can be a life-long condition it could clearly be a very valuable option for patients”
