Description

Nerva is the easiest way to self-manage your IBS symptoms at home, without symptom tracking or diet change. Developed by experts, Nerva can help you learn to 'fix' the miscommunication between your gut and brain with a 6-week psychology-based program.

Nerva uses a proven psychological approach to IBS: gut-directed hypnotherapy. Examined in a study at Monash University (creators of the low FODMAP diet), this approach was found to work just as well as their elimination diet for managing IBS*.

How does it work?

Most people with IBS have visceral hypersensitivity, which means their gut is overly sensitive to certain foods and mood triggers. Nerva can help you learn how to address this miscommunication through audio-based gut-directed hypnotherapy.

What you get:

- An evidence-based hypnotherapy program designed by a world-leading expert to help you live well with IBS and learn to manage your symptoms
- Interactive content with dozens of articles, guides & animations that help you learn to calm anxiety & stress
- Intuitive streak tracking & to-do lists that keep you motivated and on-track
- Tips & advice on how to enjoy a healthy gut and life
- In-app chat support from real people

“I have been using this app for 2 weeks now and have already started seeing results. The sessions are really high quality and the bite size readings each day have been really helpful. It takes some discipline to make sure I do it everyday but I would highly recommend giving it a go.” - Nerva member

”I have done it for 1 week and Im definitely buying the subscription. It really made a huge difference so far.” - Nerva member

IBS, histamine intolerancy improvement!

I have several food allergies that caused my Histamine intolerancy to develop. Stress from food restriction developed flare ups and then it became IBS. This app helped me so much. Of course it is not a miracle treatment for food allergies, but it significatly helped my Histamine intolerance and I would say it made my stress related IBS disapear or at least made it so much better. I was really sceptical at first but I suffered a lot so I decided to give it a try. I still follow diet strictly avoiding my allergens, but I am able to tolerate more food with histamine and flare ups are less often. I am IBs symptoms free for a month after six week programme and I am still using the app when feeling stressed about food and when I feel stressed in general. It is worth a shot for all that are suffering with IBS. Highly recommend! And thank you for making my life and diet better.

5 days into it

.. and it seem to work. Not sure if it is coincidence, I guess time will tell, but I already see some small improvements even though I didn’t change anything in my diet. Curious to see how this evolves but so far I am happy. I listen to the hypnotherapy session at night before falling asleep and it helps me relax and sleep better as well.
I am a big believer in hypnotherapy given that this is how I stopped smoking almost 2 years ago and when I heard there is something like this for IBS I needed to try. If anything, for sure it is less harmful than any pill.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled you're already noticing improvements and enjoying better sleep. Please keep us posted on your progress 😊

Great customer service

Beside good functioning and content of the app I would like to highlight the smooth communication with the customer service. All my questions has been answered and I had some problem with a subscription payment that was solved quickly with no issues. Anne, who I have been communicating with, helped me with all my requests promptly. :)
