I sincerely hope by the time you finish looking at this site, you will seriously consider joining the IBS Register and help us to make a difference in the lives of IBS sufferers around the world.

Now, more than any other time I can remember, I believe that our professions have a unique opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of so many.

I have been working with IBS sufferers since 1991 (where did those 31 years go?), I have trained thousands of hypnotherapists over the last 31 years in IBS management.

So before you look any further, I want you to know more about me, my history and how serious I am about IBS, and how that interest has shaped my practice over the last 30+ years.
Which I believe qualifies me to invite you to consider joining the IBS Register. Click below for more.

As mentioned previously, my name is Michael Mahoney and I have worked with IBS patients since 1991.
My services are known and respected by many within the Gastroenterology field.

My practice was full-time within GP medical centres for over 25 years, providing services to primary care and secondary care patients.

Being the author of the highly acclaimed IBS Audio Program 100 I worked closely with IBS patients. After eight years of research, development, patient piloting and a three-year follow-up the program was released in 1998.

In 2011, I received an invitation from The Lord Chamberlain to attend Queen Elizabeth's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, by recommendation of UK Trade and Investment, in recognition of my innovative health solutions work with IBS, and also with breast cancer patients.

In 1998 my practice sponsored, co-organised, and presented at, the UK’s first ever IBS Awareness Evening at Liverpool University.
The evening brought together pharmaceutical companies, OTC suppliers, complementary therapists and medical professionals for the benefit of IBS patients.

In 2008, I took part in NHS-funded IBS trials working with,
and reported back on the progress of 20 Gastroenterologist screened, long-term refractory IBS patients who were presenting symptoms resistant to alleviation with
prescription medications.
The youngest was 9 years old and the oldest was 74.

The results delighted the funding medical practice medical team and patients alike, proving a clear reduction in symptoms and frequency of presentation of 84.3% overall.
This also validated the results of my private research and the efficacy of hypnotherapy with IBS patients.
In addition, I have:
- presented to the Annual Scientific Meeting of the
Primary Care Society in London, on my work with IBS patients.
- presented clinical evidence on the uses of Hypnotherapy with IBS patients in the National Health Service to a
Southern England NHS Priority Sub Setting Committee.
I have also attended international Digestive Disease Week and IFFGD Symposiums
2000 - 2004 provided consultancy services at the regional psychiatric hospital.
My work has been mentioned numerous times in various books and media articles.
I have been interviewed on radio shows in the UK and abroad discussing IBS matters.
I hope this short overview of some of my work with IBS over the years shows my commitment to helping IBS sufferers.
The same drive and determination will make the IBS Register the go-to site for IBS sufferers and other service users.
Let's get going, be part of something exciting, right from the start, with aims to help the IBS population and our practices too.
