What is a GI Psychologist?
If you are new to the idea of a GI psychologist you are not alone. In fact, many people may be surprised at the recommendation of a medical provider to seek the care of a GI psychologist to assist in the management of IBS, IBD or other GI conditions. Symptoms experienced by those living with these GI conditions are REAL! There are many factors that impact these symptoms including the ways in which the brain and gut communicate. It is important to talk with your medical provider about your symptoms, receive a diagnosis and collaborate on a treatment plan that works for you. Treatment may include medication, nutrition therapy and seeking the care of a GI psychologist. Research shows that the brain-gut behavioral therapies (that we talk a lot about in our book, Mind Your Gut) utilized by GI psychologists are very effective at restoring the brain's everyday regulation of the GI tract...thereby reducing one's symptoms!
