Thank you this was actually helpful. Multiple times I tried to cut off my caffeine in the morning to see if it would help and I'd say most of the time it doesn't do anything. I tried eating different foods as well. I began to live with it and not stress myself about it. It hurts and it sucks at first, but then after about... 20 minutes the cramp dissipate. I think I am SLOWLY healing myself.

I'm so glad to hear this video was helpful for you! It's great that you were able to experience that change after about 20minutes. When you start to do things differently, it's amazing how those experiences add up and challenge some of the old beliefs/thoughts. Remember, one step at a time, and be kind to yourself as you slowly heal 💜

Yes I’ve often found this. I go after waking and then sometimes feel the need to go after breakfast. I usually use one of your gut directed hypnotherapy videos and the feeling will pass. Thank you so much 🎉

[@TheCalmHappyGut]

You are welcome, and that's so great to hear! It's wonderful to hear how much the hypnotherapy videos are helping you🙏🎧

Could you please also make a video about constipation and the total lack of stimulus? Thank you 🙏

[@TheCalmHappyGut]

Thank you for your video suggestion! 😊💜

IBS is like turbo charged hypersensitivity! Thanks for this video.

[@TheCalmHappyGut]

You are welcome! I hope you found it helpful 💜

[@chrisgale5634]

@TheCalmHappyGut please could you do a video on travelling and urgency when possible? Also, thoughts on loperamide? Thank you 😊

[@TheCalmHappyGut]

​@@chrisgale5634 I'll be releasing a hypnosis for travel anxiety on the app, but I can definitely create more of an educational type video on this for the channel - many many people struggle with this side of IBS. When it comes to loperamide, it's outside of my scope of practice to comment , so I would speak to your health care practitioner/doctor about this☺

[@artmeinspired]

I can't believe I found you

[@TheCalmHappyGut]

Welcome to the channel! It's great to have you here 💜😊

This happens to me with just a drink of water

[@TheCalmHappyGut]

Thank you for sharing, yes this can happen. You are not alone.

@TheCalmHappyGut I had recovered 70 % by balancing my nervous system and dealing with buried traumas, GAPS diet, etc. Then, the shutdown happened in 2020, and I lost my part-time gig because SSDI doesn't cover everything, I wasn't able to get my treatments or anything. Then, I became homeless because of the shutdown. Health is 3 times as bad now after so much trauma of the past 3 1/2 years. I don't have the resources i had years ago, which enabled me to recover. And no family now. Finally have a (tiny 1 room) roof over my head!!! Stress is literally a killer.
