Digestive system disorders such as gastroenteritis, peptic ulcers, gallstones, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, diarrhea and constipation can be attributed to a number of causes including poor diet, allergies, infections and emotional disturbances. When the digestive system is working properly our food is easily broken down into a form that can be readily absorbed into the bloodstream to supply us with energy, to build and repair tissues and efficiently eliminate excess waste. A healthy digestive system is crucial to maintaining our general physical and emotional well-being.

There are numerous origins of digestive dysfunction that include poor dietary habits, antibiotic use, food allergies, and “Leaky Gut Syndrome”. If adopting a healthier diet does not fix the problem, you may be continuing to eat foods that are eliciting an allergic response, and testing is then necessary.

Eliminate all dairy and wheat products for several weeks, simplifying your diet with high plant intake. Sometimes a digestive enzyme or Lactobacillus acidophilus will help. Beyond these simple changes some type of diagnostic testing is advisable.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common illness, resulting from your digestive system “forgetting” its natural rhythm and flow. Since your mind is powerful and controls your body, you can teach your mind to re-regulate your symptoms.

Hypnosis is powerfully effective to support and manage IBS symptoms. The six session program I use has supported the elimination of all symptoms in 85% of the clients, and a reduction in a total of 93% of the clients.
