Nerva: IBS & Gut Hypnotherapy 12+

Nerva App

It is a pleasure to write a review of the Nerva App as I can say truthfully it has revolutionised my life. I am 75 years old and have suffered from IBS for a long time and tried every possible remedy with sometimes a small degree of success but none has had the impact of Nerva. I have been using the app for approximately 6 months and have seen a consistent improvement and a significant reduction in the use of anti diarrhoeal medication. My diet has improved and I am now eating a greater variety of food as previously in an attempt to manage my bowel condition I restricted my choice of vegetables in particular. I had in the past followed the FODMAP diet with a modicum of success. I am now more confident in using public transport and staying away from home for holidays and visits to family. I used to dread leaving home as I constantly worried about finding a toilet and the possibility of faecal incontinence as my bowels sometimes moved up to nine times a day. The only small comment I would make is that I would find a bell or other sound helpful to signify the end of the breathing exercises. Thank you for your work into this distressing condition.

Quite frankly, miraculous

I’ve had quite serious digestive issues on and off for over 5 years. They tend to flare up to a debilitating level (ie not being able to work, enjoy holidays, leave the house for long periods of time) for months at a time and I’ve undergone all types of invasive testing and diets to no avail. Nothing has worked so I’ve been willing to try absolutely anything as the years have gone on. Worth noting that Ive previously been very skeptical of mediation in general, just not my thing.
Amazingly, after about 10 days I started seeing a dramatic reduction in my symptoms after using Nerva everyday. I must caveat that simultaneously I’ve been following a relatively low FODMAP diet and consciously trying to reduce stress on my body, but without a doubt Nerva has contributed to the reduction in symptoms (I have tried these things before Nerva and they have not helped at all). I am now on week 5 with nearly 3 clear weeks of virtually no symptoms. This is the best my stomach has been in years and I feel happier and healthier than ever.
I have no doubt that there is a mental component to this, and believing that it will help you may well be a factor in its effectiveness. That being said, if you have tried everything and don’t know where else to go, it is a very small price to pay for something that could change your life for the better. Thank you to those who made this app, it has truly changed my life !

IBS and Lactose Intolerance

Last year for five months, I had chronic diarrhoea. I had loads of tests. Cameras up and down! Everything came back normal in the end. I was so frustrated. I decided to try dairy free. Cutting out all cheese, milk et cetera. Found out myself that I’m lactose intolerance. The chronic diarrhoea stopped within a few days and I thought that was it. But occasionally I’d still wake in the night needing to go to the loo. I’d get caught out when I was out and I was nervous about going out too. So I guessed I was IBS too. I tried Low FODMAP. But it didn’t really help then I saw this app on Facebook and I thought I’d give it a try. I really enjoyed the first seven days so thought I’m gonna give it a good go and I’ve paid for the whole year. It took a good 4 to 5 weeks before I felt it had worked, but I did it every day. And after the six weeks, I felt confident again about going out seeing friends having meals out et cetera. I still can’t eat dairy or at least dairy with lactose in but I can put up with that! I really enjoyed doing the hypnotherapy every day. And I like the repetition of the different hypnotherapy sessions. Now I want them to bring out an app to help with my sleep. :-)

I’m now on day 134. I’m going to try to get to day 365. :-). Thank you, Nerva.
