Has anyone had success with yoga, meditation, stomach massage, reiki, acupuncture or other complimentary therapies?

  1. ,

    All of the above, actually. I find that these types of treatments add to, for me, a necessary holistic approach to managing the IBS. They act as extra support for the most part, but meditation and yoga are a core component of my wellness regime. If you haven't tried any of them, give them a try. At very least, you will get a good bit of stress relief. Thank you for your question and I hope you are well today. -Todd, IrritableBowelSyndrome.net Team

      1. I have had some success with yoga meditation and accupuncture which was the best. Problem was it was getting expensive since my insurance would not pay. I am presently involved with hypnotherapy and beginning with a nutritionist (which I really wish I had done earlier)..so we will see.

        1. Where do you find hypnotherapy? I assume this is gut hypnotherapy. Not sure where to look, we are in East Ontario.

        2. I have never tried in-person hypnotherapy, but I did the Nerva program before (I shared my experience here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/hypnotherapy-app) and found it helpful. Karina (team member)

      2. Thank you for your response. I wish you luck with your new course of treatment!
