IBS Quick Tip!

Stressed Out? That's Not Going to Help Your IBS...

Hello -

Along with diet, stress is the greatest trigger for IBS symptoms.
Why? Stress inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system, and stimulates excessive adrenaline production, which upsets the rhythmic muscle contractions of the gut.
Obvious culprits? Worries about work, money, family, health.
Less obvious? Hot and humid weather, travel, lack of sleep.
What helps?

Follow the IBS diet cheat sheet to keep your gut calm despite stress.
Tackle stress directly:

Direct heat therapy

Meditation

Yoga

Extra sleep

Remember that anything that stresses your body, from your physical environment to emotional extremes (even happy anticipation and excitement), will affect your gut. Plan accordingly.

Best bet? Gut-directed hypnotherapy not only minimizes stress, it physically changes the way your gut reacts to it.

This is in addition to hypnotherapy's direct regulation of your gut's enteric nervous system, and resulting reduction of IBS symptoms.

Tip Takeaway: Stress directly affects colonic motility and IBS symptoms. Use as many tactics as you need on a daily basis to actively prevent or minimize stress-related attacks.
