Smoking may worsen symptoms of IBS,

The most common theory is that I.B.S. is a disorder of the interaction between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract.

I.B.S. is a source of chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms, and contributes to work absenteeism.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnosis have been found to be the most beneficial psychological therapy for I.B.S.

Hypnosis utilises relaxation techniques as well as improving mental wellbeing.
