And if that were all, that would probably be enough.
But then there's this really tricky thing called visceral hypersensitivity.
And what that means is that after you've had these disorders, what can develop is the sensations that come from the gut
become misinterpreted by the brain.
So they're essentially amplified and distorted.
So what that means is that the sensation of a full stomach can be misinterpreted to feel incredibly painful, or it can be translated into nausea, or just the feeling of a little gas
can be very painful.
So normal, healthy sensations are being amplified and distorted through visceral hypersensitivity.
And all those amplified and distorted signals are then being fed through this hypervigilant catastrophizing brain, which is then sending more anxiety down into the gut, causing even more symptoms.
So you can see it's this circular pathway that feeds on itself.
And so what do we do about it?
Well, there's very specific types of cognitive behavioral therapy that very few people are trained to do.
And then also very specific types of clinical hypnosis that can be incredibly helpful.
Don't take my word for it.
Take the 40 years and hundreds of studies that have been done showing these types of treatments are helpful for these problems.
And because of that evidence, the American College of Gastroenterology has written these into their guidelines for treatment.
So they're there based on the evidence.
They're saying, use these treatments if you have IBS.
The other thing to mention is I'm glad that you pointed out cognitive behavioral therapy is pretty common.
It's out there.
