Irritable
Bowel Syndrome
is the biggest conundrum in Medicine today. Up to 20% of the global
population
has IBS. It affects the gut, yet the gut is normal. This is
confirmed by colonoscopy and further validated by biopsy results. In
fact if
any abnormality is found, the diagnosis is no longer Irritable Bowel
Syndrome. The diagnosis
of IBS is made
after excluding serious conditions. No one knows the true causes of
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
and no
single treatment works for everyone. In addition, there is no cure for
IBS.
I believe the pattern IBS
follows in a sufferer depends on how the individual views the fact that
there is no cure for Irritable Bowel
Syndrome. Sufferers
are told that they have to live with their IBS.
Reduce stress and take fibre. They
are told to find out the things that trigger their Irritable Bowel
Syndrome symptoms and
avoid them,
and consume items that are helpful or safe to eat. There is something
terribly
wrong when you consider the facts. There is no abnormality in the gut
yet there
are at least 40 to 45 million sufferers of IBS in USA
alone. The fact is: If you
accept that you have to live with it, you end up living with IBS.
The pattern of IBS is
different in individual patients and that is because of how Irritable
Bowel Syndrome is
viewed by
the subconscious mind. If, for example, you have a bout of IBS symptoms
and
they are worse than the last attack, you may feel that your IBS is
getting
worse. Your expectation is that the next attack will be worse and that
is
exactly what will happen. If on the other hand, you accept that this
bout is
bad but it is the nature of Irritable
Bowel Syndrome and will settle
back to the usual mild
pattern,
that is what will happen. Expectation is a powerful tool in illnesses
especially IBS and it can work for or against you.
A successful businessman
does not see failure. He expects success and gets it. A person who
constantly
fails, wishes for success but deep down does not expect it. The same
goes for
Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Most sufferers wish for control but do not
expect it. They expect
control
from health professionals, drugs herbs etc. The true control, however,
come
from within the patient. The biggest problem is to convince the
sufferers that
they can control their symptoms by a change of attitude.
To control your IBS is not
easy. If, for example, you have a great fear of snakes, and you
convince yourself you are no longer scared of snake, do you think it
mean your fear of snake will go away?
No. It
will not because the fear is deeply embedded in your subconscious
mind. To
overcome this problem, all fear
messages in the subconscious mind must be removed.
This happens in Irritable Bowel
Syndrome.
Hypnotherapy works for refractory IBS. In this group patients no longer
respond to any treatment
of IBS. After a course of
hypnotherapy,
patients have complete control of their Irritable Bowel Symptoms. Foods
that were previously triggers
were no
longer problems. How does hypnotherapy work? It replaces negative
messages in
the subconscious mind with positive ones. It only works when the
patient is
deeply relaxed. If not, the subconscious mind will throw it out.
Hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome is increasingly being used.
It stands to reason
that if there are no negative messages about Irritable Bowel Syndrome
in your subconscious
mind,
the pattern of your IBS
symptoms will be different. If, for
example, when you were
first given the diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, you were advised
that even though there is no cure,
the
pattern of your IBS will run a mild course if you adopt a positive
mental
attitude, would your Irritable
Bowel Syndrome be different today?
If you prevent negative
thoughts to embed in your subconscious mind and permit only positive
one
through, you have a recipe for control. So adopt a positive mental
attitude for
a better life with your IBS.
Hypnotherapy provides the best results for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
You can achieve similar results by engaging your mind to remove
negative messages about Irritable Bowel Syndrome and replace them with
positive ones for better control of IBS. This I believe is a powerful treatment
of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
