Hypnotherapy is not a substitute for medical care and does not diagnose any condition. This work is relaxation-based and is offered alongside the care you receive from your GP. Gut-directed hypnotherapy is referred to in the UK clinical guidelines for irritable bowel syndrome: the British Society of Gastroenterology guideline gives it a strong recommendation on low-quality evidence, and NICE says referral for psychological interventions, including hypnotherapy, should be considered for people whose IBS has not responded to pharmacological treatment after twelve months and is described as refractory. This is not a promise of personal results. Results vary from person to person and no approach helps everyone. This site is for information only. Please get a diagnosis from your GP and see your GP about any new, changing or persistent symptoms, so that other conditions can be ruled out.
