Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a disorder affecting millions worldwide, has long frustrated both patients and doctors.
Health
Traditional interventions—diet changes, medications, and probiotics—often provide only partial relief, leaving patients searching for more effective solutions.
Health
Recent research showed that behavioural therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and gut-directed hypnotherapy can significantly improve symptoms.
Health
These therapies target the complex communication network between the brain and the gut, also called the brain-gut axis, which influences symptom severity and flare-ups.
Health
The brain-gut connection means that stress, anxiety, and emotions can directly affect digestive function.
Health
With this understanding, doctors are beginning to view the mind as a vital component in managing IBS, an approach that could reshape treatment strategies.
