IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the digestive system.

​

Between one and 2 in 10 people in the UK are thought to have IBS.

 

You can develop it at any age, but it’s most common for symptoms to start between the ages of 20 and 30. It’s less common for IBS to start later in life.

 

You’re at greater risk of other bowel conditions causing your symptoms over the age of 40. So, it’s important to get any changes checked out.

 

Women are twice as likely as men to report having symptoms of IBS*

​

Research has found that hypnotherapy may help improve the primary symptoms of IBS. It may also help relieve other symptoms suffered by many people with IBS such as nausea, fatigue, backache, and urinary problems*
