Lying in her hospital bed one day, she started scrolling on her phone and happened upon a link to something called diaphragmatic breathing. She tried it immediately. “While practicing, she could feel her stomach and abdomen becoming warmer,” the researchers wrote—a sign that she was switching from fight-or-flight mode to rest-and-digest and increasing blood flow throughout her body. She cried tears of joyful surprise. This was the first time she’d been pain-free in years. The authors report that the patient ultimately experienced a near-disappearance of IBS symptoms with continued practice.
