The gastro-intestinal tract surprisingly is extremely susceptible to stress and very easily succumbs to external influence. Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Spastic Colon is onre of the most common disorders associated with our digestive system that are affected by psychological stress.

The symptoms are abdominal pain and alternat diarrhoea and constipation though these symptoms do vary from patient to patient.

people who tend to over react to everyday problems and traumas seem to be the most likely sufferers. They suffer from more anxiety and depression that the general public.they may be concerned about work, finances or family problems and are often preoccupied with their health. ther is evidence that they have learned to be more attentive to things going on in their bodies and perhaps overreact to symptoms.

For years the psychological link has been recognised by doctors but treatment of this painful condition has nethertheless been focused on diet and drugs. We now believe there is a better way combining medical treatment with hypnotherapy. by treating the stress or emotional problems the pressure is off for the IBS to return.
