In the news

Hi IBS group.  I am usually on the A/P forum, but saw a recent article and thought of you guys.  According to Reader's Digest, in a recent study, people who jotted down their thoughts, beliefs and feelings related to their IBS found it helpful in relieving their symptoms.  Just doing this for 30 min./day for four days made a significant improvement.  I guess we at the forums already know that doing this helps-that's why were here after all...but it is reassuring to read about!  Keep posting and be well!

Joan, that a pun? ;)

the reason the writing can help is because of the strong ties with your emotions and your gut, including your immune system and stress hormones.
