Acupuncture

[Danielle2mer]

Has anyone tried acupuncture for IBS? Is it any good?

[Hobbies]

I have. I'm afraid it didn't work for me. I cancelled last weeks Apt having had 4 treatments, one a week @ £35.00 each week & a £10. Consultation fee too.

So not cheap. I live in the North West & the Dr. did come recommended, she wanted me to change my diet which contradicted what I was having on the Low Fodmap diet. Her reasoning was cut out foods to see which ones affected me. Yes I'd already been doing that with Fod Map. I tried the white meat only, no eggs, no cheese, nothing that was 'crispy' as this would give me indigestion-toast,Rice Krispies ....need I go on & NO cold drinks!

I was also having the Acupuncture for other complaints, none appeared any better. I didn't have any of the Chinese Medicine @ £6.50 for each packet of concoctions.

Believe it or not I did go with an open mind but it wasn't for me. 😔

Good luck I hope it works for you.

Jackie.

Thanks Jackie. I'm still undecided whether or not to go for it. I've read some brilliant reviews but some not so good and it's not cheap.

I tried it and needles in my tummy was the worst!!

It didn't work for me. But I did Chinese cupping and heat therapy which I found was good. The needles however didn't do anything but leave a bruise

Acupuncture didn't work for me for my ibs symptoms but it does help me to be stressed and more content in myself.

Had about a years worth of weekly acupuncture. While it was no where near a cure it definitely calmed me down which helped overall. I think most people are better off making lifestyle and dietary changes though.

That must have cost you a fortune. I know if it works......but still a lot of money
