YOGA for IBS. Irritable Bowel Syndrome. [20 minute workout]

[@Fengsuave_]

Hey! I’m only 15 yrs old, but I suffer from pretty bad IBS. I was waking up every morning in pain and sobbing. I always thought yoga was overrated until I found your video. I do it every morning, and it has GREATLY decreased my symptoms. You are a life saver.

[@CaitAllison]

Hi! I am so sorry to hear you have been suffering with IBS. That is so tough to be dealing with that on top of all of the other stressors in life as a teenager. I am beyond thrilled and moved that this practice is making such a huge difference for you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you writing and sharing a bit about your journey and story. Thank you so much for taking the time to drop a comment! Wishing you continued decrease in your symptoms and warmest blessings on your journey. If you have any questions or if I can be of support, please don't hesitate to reach out!!

I am an avid yogi and have done thousands of classes online and in studio, this is the most focused class on IBS that I have ever done. Its very gentle with simple poses put together in a way that really soothes the digestive track and for me my IBS bloating. The bridge massage in particular feels great and was new to me.

[@CaitAllison]

This is such wonderful feedback! Thank you so much for writing and for sharing how the practice felt for you. I am delighted to hear it is a helpful flow for others. I too love the bridge massage, it is one of my favorites! Warmest blessings to you in the new year!

In how many days u start feeling better

[@CaitAllison]

@@nikitaadhikari9306 Hi Ganesh, thanks so much for writing! Some people notice immediate differences in doing this practice others feel the difference after a week or two of daily practice. Unfortunately there is no one size fits all approach to working with IBS. And while these practices work well for some people, it may not feel great for others. I encourage you to listen to your body and if something isn't feeling right to pause the practice. I hope you feel better soon!

[@CaitAllison]

Hi Hana, I hope your exam went well! How did you feel in it? Sometimes the restorative yoga can also be a helpful tool for those stressful moments. I also personally always use the "grounding yoga" practice that includes tremoring right before a big exam or test in order to release some of that extra stress energy just before an exam or a big meeting. If you haven't checked out those two videos on this page, give them a try and let me know what you think! I hope your exam went well! Warmest blessings to you :)

[@binaykumar3221]

Thank You for this wonderful video. There are few queries: 1. Can This be done twice for better results? 2. What to eat in IBS and what not to? 3. Is 6 hours sleep sufficient ? 4. How to overcome weakness in IBS ?

[@CaitAllison]

Hi Binay, thanks so much for writing. I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Yes, you can absolutely do the video twice a day or more if that feels good in your body. Or if there are particular parts of the video that feel good for you, you could weave those in 2-3 x per day. Every single person with IBS has different bodies and responses to foods. I have heard of the FODMAP diet for IBS, however, I think it really can be different person to person and I'm not sure there is a one size fits all approach. The research I am familiar with on sleep is that 8ish hours is a bit more ideal. But again, every one has a different system. Perhaps try getting 8 hours of sleep / night for a week and notice if you sense any change in your digestive system. I am not sure I understand your question in overcoming weakness, however try these practices for a bit and just notice how it feels for you. Sometimes just the practice of slowing down, sensing our body, can have huge and lasting impacts on our nervous system. I hope that helps and I wish you warmest blessings on your journey :)

Hi Cait :) thanks a lot for your video. Are the poses diastasis friendly? Maybe you could do a Playlist with DF videos. Thanks again.

[@CaitAllison]

Hi Ars Caeli, that is an excellent question! Yes, the poses in this video are diastasis rectified friendly, however, be very gentle with the self massage during minutes 12-15 ish in the video. You just want to be extremely gentle. And as always, listen to your body, if something doesn't feel good, just skip it for now! Warmest blessings to you!

[@thirstyjen]

Can you do all of these IBS-exercises if you have diastasis recti? If any of these movements should be avoided, could you advise of any modification?

[@CaitAllison]

Hi Jennifer, wonderful question! Most of the exercises are DR friendly. I would recommend watching the DR 1 video to learn uddiyana bandha, the belly-lock that will keep you stabilized in these poses and to keep your core engaged to support your spine while doing these exercises. I would recommend avoiding the bridge with the block and the belly massage if you have DR. I hope that is helpful! Warmest blessings to you, and please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

[@maksudakhatun310]

I am facing IBS problem could you please tell me what time I will do it.and how many time in a day.

Hi Maksuda, thanks so much for writing! There is really not a one-size-fits-all approach, and it's important to listen to your body to do what feels right for you when it comes to how many times per day to do the practices. I like to do these practices in the morning before food to start the day, and sometimes in the evening to settle my stomach if needed. But it's totally up to you for what feels best in your body. Warmest blessings to you!

Hi, I am so sorry to hear you are in so much physical pain. I would encourage you to try this gentle practice and see how it feels in your body. As you move through the suggested poses, always listen to your body and if these practices cause pain or don't feel like a fit, please stop and listen to your body. I hope these practices can offer some relief and support. Wishing you warmest blessings on your healing journey.

[@juliarider4311]

when should we expect results after doing this? should it be done everyday?

[@CaitAllison]

Hi Julia, it really depends and varies person to person. How did the practice feel in your body? If it feels helpful, then having a daily practice whether all of these asanas or just 1-2 of them that really resonate can be helpful to support the body. The key is to always listen to your body.

[@nageenashaik8166]

Hi... Can you tel me when we have to do this yoga... Before eating or after eating or empty stomach..... When we have to do this...

[@CaitAllison]

Hi! Thank you so much for such a great question. I often prefer to practice on an empty stomach or after a light meal, and eat a meal after my practice, however, some people prefer to eat before their practice. I would encourage you to try both and to see which feels better and more effective in your body. Since each body is different, it sometimes takes a bit of trying different variations to find the best fit for your body.

Hi Pranay! What a lovely comment! Thank you so much for your kind words and your feedback. I am absolutely delighted to hear that the video was so helpful for you!!

But I will do a bit of research over the weekend and see if there are any other great poses out there for GERD. Using the finger tips to gently tap across the chest can be soothing to the nervous system, and I wonder if that might help, but I will do a bit of research and get back with you on this.

I checked with a few people this weekend and I couldn't get a clear answer on practices specifically for GERD. What may be helpful is working on some calming and soothing practices for the central nervous system, and calming the vagus nerve, the largest nerve in the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps with rest and digest. Have you had a chance to check out my "Yoga for Anxiety" video on this channel? It's got several grounding and balancing practices for the nervous system. Particularly bumble bee breath is wonderful for calming the nervous system. I am sorry to not be of more help, but I will hold your question on my mind and if I find anything else specific to GERD I will respond again. Warmest blessings to you!

[@CaitAllison]

Wonderful question! So the exercises and the self massage is for both. In the case of IBS-D, the self massage helps to push things along for consolidation, but in the case of IBS-C, it helps to loosen things up a bit so that it can pass. It really is meant to help create a regular, consolidated flow. I hope that answered your question! Please let me know how the exercises work for you and if you notice any differences :)

IBS has been troubling since lock down from march and Long hours of sitting in front of PC is not helping either. Doctor has told me I have IBS and I should do yoga. I start my day with your video now. I feel way way better. I wish you all the best. And you are in my prayers. Lots of Love Dear❤️

[@CaitAllison]

Hi Pankaj OM Srivastava, thank you so much for your warm words of encouragement and for sharing a bit about your journey. I am delighted to hear you have discovered mantra and contemplative practices. Definitely sitting in front of the computer for hours on end with lockdown is putting lots of stress, physically and emotionally on our digestive tracts. I find the third chakra, our seat of power, can be dimmed a bit in this season of feeling out of control with covid. It sounds like you have a really wonderful doctor who recommended yoga for IBS as a go to, rather than trying to cover up the symptoms with a pill. I find digestive issues are often trying to get our attention with something and tell us something is off...which makes sense, since our bodies weren't designed to be at a computer for hours on end each day. I am so delighted that you discovered these practices and that you are feeling so much better in your body. I can't tell you how much it means to me that you wrote and shared a bit of your story. I hope so much that my KZbin videos empower people to feel better in their bodies at home, and I am glad to hear it did just that for you. Wishing your warmest blessings on your journey! -Cait

Hi Cait Allison I have been doing one yoga work-out, is there any problem if i do both.

[@CaitAllison]

Hi Anjappa, it's great to do more than one yoga workout, especially if it's a practice you have been doing for a while and it feels good in your body. This is just a practice that is specifically sequenced to helping with the stomach, and you can add it in as needed or do it regularly for maintenance. Just honor and listen to what is right for your body. Warmest blessings to you!

Hii,I am from India, I have IBS-D & it has been nine years, I started your yoga level 1 & 2 for 2 months but I doesn't see any result , condition is still worse, what should I do?

[@CaitAllison]

Hi Aparna, I am so sorry to hear you have been suffering for so long. It sounds like you have been in pain for quite some time now. Have you been able to see a doctor or find any tools that have led to a bit of relief? The tips in these videos are really the best tools that I have to share from a yoga therapy perspective, and since every person has a different body it might not always be the right sequence for each persons needs. I have also found drinking warm lemon water in the morning to be a bit helpful for myself as well. I wish you warmest blessings on your healing journey.

[@CaitAllison]

@@aparna_prakash Hi Aparna, it is so tough to be such a young age and struggling with digestion so intensely. I also struggled with my stomach a lot through my early twenties. I am glad to hear you are working with a psychiatrist and Ayurvedic medicine and seeing a bit of relief. If you find the yoga practices helpful, I would recommend continuing with them. They worked well for me after months and years of consistent practice, however, I know that not every body is the same so it's important to honor and listen to what feels best and most supportive in your body. Here is a resource for better understanding how the physical body is connected to the mind through how our nervous system manages stress. It might be a bit of a helpful explainer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3mce36on7mngqc Wishing you warmest blessings on your healing journey!

Can I do after meal?

Yes, if that feels alright in your body. I invite you to explore trying these practices both before eating and then to try another time after eating to notice where in your body you feel the most difference, and to honor that.

Hi Abhishek, thanks so much for writing! Great question! I go through the number of reps in the video, just in terms of watching the full video and doing it with me is the full practice. However, if you have more time at home and a desire to up the reps, you can always repeat the number of times you do each individual exercise. Just make sure you are listening to your body and what feels right for you. I hope you enjoy the practice!

[@giraudetandrea477]

hello I suffer from an irritable bowel and it is several times that I try to make simple posture of yaga and every time 1 day later I am taking crisis of abdominal cramps and diahrre can you advise me?

[@CaitAllison]

HI Giraudet, thanks so much for writing. I wonder, which posture in yoga have you been using? Is it a yoga posture from this video or from somewhere else? It's always a good idea to check in with your doctor before starting a yoga practice. If you have the all clear to practice, you might find that restorative poses are more supportive for your body at this time. I have another yoga video called "deep stretch" that might be a gentle, restorative practice you could try too. Or if you haven't tried this Yoga for IBS video yet, maybe start slowly, only doing 1-2 postures from this video and see how it impacts your body. There is no one size fits all practice, so it can be helpful to listen to your body and avoid the poses that seem to make things worse. If you have any questions, I am happy to answer to the best of my ability. Warmest blessings to you on your journey!

Hi Nature Nest, I am so sorry to hear that you are in so much pain each evening. That sounds really tough and I know how painful cramps can be. Have you been able to try the practices in this video? Did you notice any differences after doing the practices? Have you been able to get in to see a doctor? I think the only other things that I haven't mentioned in the video that I find personally helpful for my own stomach are drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning, and taking warm epsom salt baths at night or sometimes if I don't have access to a bathtub, taking a warm towel with Epsom salts and resting it on my belly has been soothing. I hope these practices are able to bring a bit of relief and wishing you warmest blessings on your journey!

Hi Allison, luckily IBS cured, but i have one more issue like gastric..... For this... Since 5 years, I have been using morning medicine. Even I am using it.... Every day the gas will release from mouth and back...whenever I eat.... In the same way like IBS cured through this video..... I want to cure this too.... Can you please post any video regarding digestive system...if gas formation in stomach stops and there is no point of gas release and I will be complete healthy person then..... I don't want exercises to free the gas from stomach... Because my point is gas should not form in stomach... If you any exercises related to this.... Please tell me... .

Otherwise.. My stomach is filled with gastric and I won't be able to eat the food... Even I try to eat.... Some vomting sensation like occurs.... Or I feel like stomach fullness without even eating or highly gas will be released from mouth like that happenes...so as per my knowledge and research...if food is unable to digest properly.....or takes lot of time to digest in the stomach...means taking lot of time for gastric people than healthy digestive system people...so as it is completely related to digestive system issue...i asked you to do a video on healthy digestive system....

That's a great question! I am not a doctor, so I can't really answer that question. But I would recommend reading the comments from other views below. Many people have written that these exercises have been able to alleviate certain symptoms associated with IBS. How did the exercises feel for you? Did you notice any changes from the practice?

Dr. Mercola also has lots of great information up on his website. www.mercola.com/.

Hi Aafreen, I am so sorry to hear things have been so tough lately. Sometimes our inner emotions can impact our stomach and digestion in a somatic way. I would recommend touching base with a counselor or therapist to get some support.

I’m sorry but No. This may help with constipation but I do not want more intestinal activity. I want less. The same exercises do not work for both. Also, you said you’d be explaining the science behind this sequence but you meant click on the link. Please consider doing separate classes for people who suffer from diarrhea. We do not need to be more squeezed.

[@CaitAllison]

Hi Joqatana, thanks so much for taking the time to write a comment. I can understand your frustration and I know it does seem counter intuitive for the practices to be beneficial for both diarrhea and constipation. Did you have a chance to read through any of the other comments on the video? While many people have shared that they found this practice helpful for them, there is certainly no one size fits all approach. Did you have a chance to try the exercises yourself? It's important to honor what feels right in your body, and this practice may not be that. There are certainly plenty of other videos out there too that may be a better fit for what you are looking for. If I can answer any questions, please let me know. Best of luck on your journey.

[@joqatana]

Cait Allison I was just talking about this with my nurse friend. She doesn’t do yoga so couldn’t really give me an informed opinion. I’ve been doing yoga for nearly 50 years so yeah, I follow my intuition in these cases. It seems to lead me in the right direction. Even when I argue with it. Thank you for responding.

@@joqatana Wow, that's great that you have had such a sustained practice. Have you checked out Dr. Timothy McCall's work? He goes much more in depth on the science behind the practices and the evidence based research for yoga.

Again, thanks for writing and for honoring what's right for you.
