Pain is the number one symptom of IBS and the main reason people seek help for the condition. While most people with IBS experience gut pain, IBS is classified into subtypes based on bowel symptoms. These subtypes are: IBS-C: IBS with constipation, IBS-D: IBS with diarrhea, and IBS-M: IBS mixed (both diarrhea and constipation)

Over the counter and prescription medicines reduce symptoms in less than 50 percent of IBS patients. IBS is an individual condition that affects people in a variety of ways. As a result, some treatment strategies may work for some people but not for others. It's possible that you may need to try different treatments before finding one that works for you.

Gut-directed hypnotherapy has been used to treat IBS symptoms for nearly 40 years. If you have IBS, it may mean that your brain and your gut aren't "talking" to one another the way they should. This can result in gut pain that can seriously affect your everyday life. Many studies show that gut-directed hypnotherapy helps reduce the gut pain caused by IBS.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Regulora® is a digital therapeutic intended to provide behavioral therapy through gut-directed hypnotherapy for adults who have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Regulora is indicated as a 3-month treatment for patients with abdominal pain due to IBS and is intended to be used together with other IBS treatments. Regulora is intended for patients who speak and read English. Regulora may not be appropriate for patients with mental or physical impairment that would prevent interacting with a mobile video application. Regulora may not be appropriate for patients with evidence of intestinal illness that better explains IBS symptoms such as celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease. Regulora should not be used in lieu of your current IBS medication or therapy. In a clinical trial of Regulora, side effects were low. About 1% of patients experienced abdominal pain, constipation, fatigue, or headache which was thought to be related to using Regulora.
