Don't suffer from IBS again this Christmas

Irritable Bowel
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive problem often causing bouts of stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and/or constipation.  It's thought to affect up to 1 in 5 people at some point in their life, and affects twice as many women as men.  The symptoms vary from person to person and tend to come and go in periods lasting a few days to a few months at a time.  It’s often related to eating certain foods, but it’s most certainly related to stress and anxiety.
So, to help you suffer less through this most testing time of year, here's a little tip that you can try to help you to deal with your anxiety.
As you go to bed at night think of 3 or more things that have been good about the day.  It could be something somebody said, or did, something in nature that caught your attention, a moment of beauty, of learning, a smile or laughter.  But by thinking more positive thoughts before you go to sleep, it will help you to start getting a better night’s sleep and that will help you and your body to feel more relaxed.  And if you’re feeling more relaxed, you’ll be less anxious and that’s going to help your IBS enormously!
