It is classified as being a \u2018disorder of brain gut interaction (DGBI)\u2019 because research has identified that IBS involves miscommunication between the gut, the gut microbiome and the brain (2). This results in changes in gut motility, visceral hypersensitivity and immune function and can also impact mood (3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a83cb2bece320d52f01fc74cdb069c61 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#898b8b;font-size:17px\">Gut directed hypnotherapy involves using imagery and metaphors to calm the gut, reduce pain and gut reactivity and normalise bowel function once a deep state of relaxation has been induced. Metaphors that might be used include picturing the gut as a river and modifying the flow of the river depending on whether the individual has constipation or diarrhoea (4). Abdominal pain may be soothed by feeling warmth coming from a hand placed on the abdomen (4) or picturing a wave of soothing medication passing through the gut (5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-01d809506a24e7c7d3db0eee37a3007c wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#898b8b;font-size:17px\">Professor Peter Whorwell first developed gut directed hypnotherapy and published work on this in 1984 (6) so it is not a new therapy! Since then, many researchers have shown how gut directed hypnotherapy can be beneficial when given individually (4), in group settings (7) and online (8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-38726b8cedcf7342d64740d8eee38f6e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#898b8b;font-size:17px\">A key benefit of hypnotherapy is that there are no side effects unlike with medical management. It has also been noted to improve psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression (4), improve quality of life (7) and was found to be as effective as the low FODMAP diet in a study comparing both (9). Unfortunately, gut directed hypnotherapy is not widely available in NHS settings and private courses can be expensive so we set up The Contented Gut online group courses to provide access to more people struggling with their IBS symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1072b9119e64728a24da025f804594a2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#035196\"><strong>What does The Contented Gut course involve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b69c2092e03b220bf99bfc24d11dc78c wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#898b8b;font-size:17px\">The Contented Gut courses are run in small groups of up to 6 people online. Each course consists of 8 sessions and is open to adults with a diagnosis of IBS or functional symptoms that can occur when someone has coeliac disease or inflammatory bowel disease. The first five sessions are weekly and the last three are fortnightly. Although the course is run as a group session, there is no requirement to converse with others or discuss symptoms. Participants can simply join a few minutes before it starts and enjoy listening to the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3bf87328e6e9f14004c939a6f6cc80ca wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#898b8b;font-size:17px\">The introductory session lasts an hour and covers the brain-gut interaction as well as how and why hypnotherapy can help, along with a short hypnotic relaxation at the end. Sessions 2-8 then focus on the GDH and each session lasts for around 40 minutes. All that is needed is to be somewhere quiet and comfortable with a good internet signal. Participants receive a recording to practice with between sessions. Regular practice with the recording between sessions is encouraged to gain the most benefit.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-da516f4133e6a323a43f61daf13f0fc8 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#035196\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cf04e50a96b009ffc7b0a965455248f0 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#898b8b;font-size:17px\">1.
