Re: IBS and Breathing Habits       10/11/05 08:40 PM Edit Reply Quote retrograde Reged: 04/15/04 Posts: 1569 Hi there. I can definitely relate, but I'm not sure (for me) if the breathing patterns are physical (i.e. moving in and out of the stomach like you said) but rather pyschological/stress-anxiety related. I know that I can usually stop or ease a mild attack by deep, slow, focussed meditative breathing. And if I'm really anxious about something that will usually bring on an attack - and anxiousness is usually accomanpanied, for me, by breathing more quickly. But I'm not sure if it's so much the breathing as much as it is the anxiety that's bringing on both the attack AND the quicker breathing. (Does that make sense?) Slow breathing slows my anxiety... which slows the attack. Hope that's helpful to you! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
