Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Learn Relaxation
Friday, September 19th, 2008People with IBS must learn to relax. It is common for stress to exacerbate irritable bowel syndrome symptoms, so it is important to make an effort to develop effective relaxation techniques, such as breathing techniques, meditation, yoga, and biofeedback. A psychotherapist or counselor can help you identify the stressors in your life and develop better methods of managing them. Exercise can be very therapeutic for people with IBS because it helps reduce stress; it can also normalize bowel function if constipation is a problem.
