Hi Acopuncture only lasts for a short time. Have you tried Hypnotherapy,Reflexolagy

Or even videos on you tube for mindfulness. Don't work for everyone but worth a go.

I have been told to try it for stress, and at least in my case I know my stress levels very much affect my IBS symptoms...

Yes ,I use acupuncture regularly for IBSC .It works for me .It costs me £15 for a circa 45 min session in a group of 4 people treated at the same time .

Hi

I have tried acupuncture for my ibs having had it before for my neck,but I was disappointed that it didn't help I would of liked to continue to see if a longer treatment would of helped but it was too expensive.

I have found yoga helpful.

I tried Accuputure for my IBS. I did back 2013; at the time it worked, but it didn't last long. I did this year and it didn't work for the pain. It does work for Nausea. It cost about $50 a session.
