IBS is a common condition that causes stomach cramps, diarrhoea, bloating, and constipation. It is a long-term condition in which symptoms come and go, lasting for anything from days to months at a time.
While there may be a physical cause for IBS, it often seems to be affected by stress, which can trigger it or make it worse. Having IBS is itself a source of stress, due to worries about symptoms and not being able to control them in public, which can lead to a vicious cycle of stress and worsening symptoms.
Psychological therapy can help you to manage stress better - both that caused by having IBS, and stress from other sources. Together with advice on diet and exercise, this can help you to manage your symptoms and feel less bothered by them.
