IBS Buddy - Gut directed hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

IBS Buddy is a free, science-backed app designed to help people find lasting IBS relief using gut-directed hypnotherapy, a clinically proven approach for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It works by retraining gut–brain pathway using structured techniques shown to reduce IBS symptoms over time. IBS Buddy follows a 14-week gut-directed hypnotherapy program based on the North Carolina (NC) protocol, one of the most widely researched and scientifically validated approaches for IBS management.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Really excited to share IBS Buddy with you today. IBS Buddy is a gut-directed hypnotherapy app designed for people living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. To be upfront — we’re not claiming to have invented a new treatment. Gut-directed hypnotherapy is already supported by a solid body of clinical research. What we’re trying to improve is accessibility. Many existing programs are expensive, clinic-bound, or locked behind subscriptions. We wanted to see if we could make something simpler, easier to access, and less intimidating to try. The app is completely free right now. If you’ve built, launched, or grown a health / wellness product, I’d genuinely love your feedback — especially around distribution and user trust. Happy to answer any questions about the build, research, UX decisions, or what surprised us during development. Thanks for checking it out 🙌
