The Calm Gut app combines evidence-based techniques delivered via an app to help you self-manage your IBS symptoms from the comfort of your own home.  

Hypnotherapy for IBS can help you ‘’fix’’ the miscommunication between your gut in brain. Studies have shown that this approach can reduce gut symptoms such as bloating, gas and irregular bowel habits, decrease anxiety and depression, and improve the quality of your life. This means you can get back to doing what you love and living your life again on your terms – not your bowels. Check out some recent studies about gut directed hypnotherapy here and here.

CBT is used to help manage IBS symptoms because of the way your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and IBS symptoms are all connected. For example, unhelpful or distressing thoughts can negatively impact how you feel, which can impact how you behave and can trigger gut symptoms. By learning how to manage your mind you can better control anxiety and stress, and your mind’s response to the sensations of pain and discomfort with IBS.

Your brain and gut are intricately linked through a complex system of nerves and chemical signals, enabling constant and bidirectional communication. However, this communication can occasionally experience disruptions. If you have IBS, it may mean that your brain and gut are no longer ‘’talking’’ to each other as they should. Consequently, your brain may transmit signals to your gut that give rise to distressing symptoms, such as pain.

The Calm Gut App is an audio ‘’toolkit’’ which you can access on your web browser, and iPhone & Android devices. It’s recommended you use the App once a day to achieve optimal results. Listening recommendations are included in the Welcome section of the App.

Unlike other IBS programs and mobile apps, The Calm Gut App combines the leading mind-gut therapies of gut directed hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The App has been designed as an ''audio toolkit'' to teach you valuable skills and stratgies to help ''fix'' your gut-brain connection, better manage stress and anxiety, and reduce physical tension in your body. The Calm Gut App also includes exercises on how to manage your emotions, and more general hypnosis sessions for additional areas IBS sufferers can struggle with, for example stopping negative thoughts and improving sleep. A free 7-day trial is also included so you can explore the sessions risk free.

Results vary for everyone, so it is difficult to give you an exact answer as to when you'll start noticing a difference. While some people see fast results, most people take 6-8 weeks to see significant improvements.
