Hypnosis actually works on both d and c and perhaps a little more on D patients in general. Consipation can have its own issues, like pelvic floor disfuntioning, hence biofeedback for pelvic floor disorders and contipation.
Hypnosis is a high focused state of mind.
"hypnosis is a state of mind that we enter several times a day. When you get involved in anything to the extent that you turn off everything else around you hypnosis has occurred. Watching a movie, reading a book, working a puzzle, or just daydreaming are some common hypnotic states. If you get engrossed in any of these activities and lose track of time you become hypnotized."
Hypnosis is a high focued state of mind that works on the subconcious and you or a therapist makes changes. You actually don't have to be relaxed to go into a trance state.
However this is a learned process, even though a natural one, your using the natural process for benefits, through
scripts for different conditions.
The UNC expert is an expert hypnosis for ibs and connected to the research and the study above on Biofeedback.
This explains hypnosis and evn a video from Dr Whorewell, the first to use it on IBS some 20 years ago
