The North Carolina Protocol

Retrain the gut–brain axis.

Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy (GDH) is an evidence-based treatment for IBS/IBD and stress-related digestive symptoms.

Using the North Carolina Protocol, this structured 7-session approach helps the brain send calmer signals to the digestive system — reducing pain, urgency, bloating, diarrhea/constipation and gut anxiety over time.

Why IBS Symptoms Persist:

The gut and nervous system are constantly communicating.

When that system gets stuck in a stress loop, the digestive tract can become overly reactive — even when diet and medications help only partially.

Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy helps reset that communication, allowing the gut to function more smoothly.

What the Research Shows

Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy has been shown to:

• reduce abdominal pain
• improve bowel regularity
• decrease bloating and urgency
• improve quality of life

Many people experience lasting improvement after completing the protocol.
