Maya Abdominal Therapy for IBS

December 15, 2014 By Riley 1 Comment

I do not remember exactly how I came across Maya Abdominal Therapy, but after reading about it, I figured I would give it a try.  You can read about it here.  My main reason for pursuing this form of therapy was to get an assessment of the overall health of my abdominal region and see if it would help with chronic constipation.  Currently, I am reliant upon Natural Calm Magnesium, a restrictive diet, and a prokinetic drug to have healthy bowel movements.

During my session, the therapist mentioned a couple of things that I made sure to remember:

1) My spleen and liver were congested

2) Duodenojejunal was functioning slowly

I could literally feel my organs releasing and hear gurgling noises at various points of my abdomen while she worked on it. It really sounded like she was getting things to function.  She recommended that I come back in one to three weeks for a follow up as it often takes several sessions to get to the many layers of the abdomen.

Have you had Maya Abdominal Therapy for IBS? I would love to hear about your experience!

Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In ho Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In honor of May being National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, I decided to share about this connection I’ve noticed in case it helps anyone else. I included my story with allergies and insomnia, what the research says, and some things that have helped me (Neti pot and Allegra are only the tip of the iceberg). Go to BridgetownNutrition.com or find the link to my blog in my profile.

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱B NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱Between my husband and I, we have nearly four decades of experience suffering from headaches and migraines. BUT, we get them far less frequently than we used to. And dietary, lifestyle, and natural remedies are the reason. So I wrote up my top, research-based natural remedies for relief and prevention. Link is in my bio. #headache #migraine #naturalremedies

I feel so grateful to have this incredibly patient, funny, smart, and caring man in my life. 

Since this account is all about having hope in your struggles with “chronic” illness, I want to share part of my personal journey with you. In my early to mid 20s, I was trying to date while suffering from severe food intolerances and chronic digestive, skin, and other health issues. It felt incredibly frustrating and discouraging at times because I encountered people who looked down upon me as a future partner because of my health issues. 

But not this guy. He saw the strength I gained from my struggles. 

I knew he was a keeper when I developed my first UTI of our relationship (I was SUPER prone to them). While I rested and tried to recover naturally, he sat in a spot where he could see me and kept glancing over to check on me between cracking open each cashew. And after that, he wanted to learn everything he could to make sure he never contributed to me getting one again. Good news: I haven’t needed a course of antibiotics since then!

I just want you to know that good people are out there. Don’t feel hopeless. Be patient and true to yourself. Chronic illness can be one of life’s greatest teachers if you let it be.
