This video maybe of interest to @IBSnetwork @Jules_GastroRD @GutsCharityUK NICE guidance approval for #IBS so #NHS units could help many patients. #integrated adjunctive gut directed hypnotherapy delivery versed by NHS nurses, dieticians etc in GI units. #DGBI #GITwitter
If you're feeling unsure as to whether hypnotherapy is for you, we have produced a short video explaining how it can help you to take control of your IBS and the science behind the gut-brain axis. Hope it is helpful!

When measuring pain, don’t just use pain intensity as a metric. There are many others aspects to be considered (and assessed) @AsbjornDrewes explains at #UEGW #UEGW2024 @my_ueg @esnm_eu @hanstornblom @DipeshVasant
