Topic: CAM, Complementary & Alternative Treatments

1. Fact Sheet: Hypnotherapy for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders

   186

   By: Peter J. Whorwell, MD

   Unfortunately, the word "hypnosis" often conjures up a whole variety of frequently quite negative connotations even within the medical profession. Many equate the phenomenon with the mind being taken over by the hypnotist and with loss of control by the recipient, which needless to say, is completely erroneous. As a consequence of this, the whole subject is surrounded by a cloud of mystery, which regrettably is often encouraged by those who practice the technique. Reviewed 2009.

2. Fact Sheet: Coping with IBS from the Inside Out: Relaxation Techniques to Manage Symptoms

   191

   By: Debbie Zeichner, LCSW, BCD

   Dealing with a chronic gastrointestinal disorder such as IBS can be distressing. You may have days where you don't want to leave the house. You may feel you are sensitive to certain foods and/or have made significant restrictions to your diet. You may feel abdominal cramping one minute and bloating the next. You may walk into a room and check to see where the nearest restroom is, and may even avoid social situations more than you would like. Your bowel symptoms may feel unpredictable and you wish there was something more you could do to regain a sense of control of your life.

   311-S

   By: Nancy J. Norton, President, IFFGD

   Quisiera agradecer a Jeannette Tries por la invitación para estar aquí con Uds. esta mañana. Me han solicitado que conversara desde la perspectiva del paciente sobre como vivir con incontinencia o con trastornos del piso pelviano. Con un espíritu de total divulgación, puedo decir que he sido paciente de Jeannette en el pasado y puedo decir que ella es alguien que me ha devuelto la vida cuando otros han desestimado mis problemas de salud y me han demostrado no tener tiempo para mí.
