Natural IBS Relief
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder of the large intestine, that causes uncomfortable digestive symptoms, especially after eating.
Rather than being a ‘disease’, distinguishing it from coeliac and inflammatory bowel disease, is it categorised by a collection of symptoms, and is classified as a chronic condition.
IBS is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, affecting an estimates 10-15% of people.

IBS Symptoms
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a multi-factorial consition, which is characterised by hypersensitivity of the nerve endings in the digestive system.(1)
The factors leading to this hypersensitivity are still being researched, but common contributing factors include; post infection, bacterial overgrowth (e.g. SIBO), genetics and psychological stress.
There are several types of IBS, depending on the predominant symptom.
- IBS-D (diarrhoea dominant)
- IBS-C (constipation dominant)
- IBS-Mixed (alternating between D & C)

Natural IBS Relief

With Positive Association Technique (PAT) our Naturopaths able to provide natural IBS relief, as part of a holistic approach to reduce the frequency and intensity of your IBS symptoms.
PAT is a natural allergy treatment performed by qualified Naturopaths, to help alleviate the symptoms association with allergies, sensitivities and intolerances.
You can learn more about PAT in our podcast episode – “What is Positive Association Technique (PAT)?”
We use a form of muscle testing (kinesiology) to assess your reactions to various food, airborne and chemical substances, to help pinpoint your individual triggers.
We then use a chiropractic tool, called an Acustim, to gently stimulate acupressure points and nerve bundles down either side of the spine, while you’re holding onto a sample vial of the substance (e.g. dust mites).
This helps to re-train your body to no longer react negatively to the substance, and relief the associated symptoms.
All of our practitioners are highly qualified and experienced Naturopaths, who undergo further training to provide Positive Association Technique (PAT).
We have Naturopaths providing PAT from clinic locations all over Australia and in Auckland, NZ.
Please note that PAT cannot “cure” IBS – we aim to reduce your reactions and help manage IBS-related symptoms. We do not intend to raise unrealistic expectations. If symptoms persist, consult your health care professional.
