I was open to the possibility of change through the Nerva app. I have not been disappointed with the results. I feel much better, have far more days without symptoms. A great majority of days.
If I feel a bit off in my stomach or bowels I just do some deep breathing and the symptoms usually abate.
I plan to continue using the guided breathing indefinitely. Thank you!

I’m pleasantly surprised with this!
I was skeptical that this would help. The fodmap diet was extremely difficult and stressful, and it helped but not enough to make it worth the effort. I’m in week 5 of Nerva and I’m feeling great! It’s enjoyable and easy.

I can’t speak highly enough of this program. I was very pleasantly surprised to notice a decrease in my symptoms from the very first time that I used it! It is so wonderful to feel better! I enjoyed the relaxing voice of the woman who lead the hypnosis as well. I loved the scenarios that were used and looked forward to listening to the program every day. I am so grateful and will also look into the Mindset program as well.

Yesterday I was so disappointed to have symptoms during the meditation and found it difficult to concentrate but throughout the day I realized that I hadn’t had any discomfort like I had been having for nearly 3 years. I’m continuing with the program and giving it my full attention! Thank you! It was the first day of pain free living in these years and I am forever grateful!

Great app!
I’m only on day 3 and really like it so far! Even if I start the meditation with heartburn by the end of it it’s gone! Positive so far!

Great app for abdominal discomfort
Great app to help with abdominal discomfort. I have had a reduction in symptoms - can’t believe the power of the mind! Also very helpful for general anxiety also. Recommended!

In third week and I’m a believer!
I had my doubts but I can say that this app has helped with my IBS-C dramatically. I have consistent, normal bowel movements without straining for the first time in years. It’s worth the price.

I am only on my first few days of my first week so i have not been able to see any results yet as expected, but i’m confident this method will improve my situation
the only negative for me is the price, as a student i will struggle for afford this but it is worth the cost for the benefits and improvement in quality of life I could achieve eventually

Helping for sure!
IBS has troubled me for over a decade. This app is helping me understand the mind-gut connection and how I can calmly learn to gain more control over my run, instead of letting it control me. I have hope this will help!

1 year in and I’m now pretty much IBS free, thanks to Nerva. I still use the app regularly to prevent flare ups. My gut-brain signals seem to be back in sync. Overjoyed and grateful.

This has helped my symptoms more than anything else I’ve tried. It also relaxes my mind and puts me right to sleep at night.

Ibs had turned my anxiety onto overdrive especially around food, I couldn’t to eat out without suffering diarrhea even if I stuck to a low Fodmap meal. Since starting the app I’ve had no diarrhea even with a high Fodmap meal(just to check if it worked) I highly recommend this if you are suffering from anxiety based ibs.

Don’t normally do reviews but finding something that works for me in nothing short of a miracle, and if the results hold up this will have changed my life. Thanks

Sceptical at first, now I love it
I was sceptical of how well this could work and also thought it was quite expensive. I ended up taking the plunge when it was on sale, figuring it had a good money back guarantee. But I won’t be needing a refund. This has really helped my symptoms…

I was sceptical of how well this could work and also thought it was quite expensive. I ended up taking the plunge when it was on sale, figuring it had a good money back guarantee. But I won’t be needing a refund. This has really helped my symptoms and I’m now able to eat some foods I’d been avoiding too. Great programme.

Like many of us, I found myself down a research rabbit hole during a particularly bad flare up. I was so frustrated just wanting a straight answer about what I could eat that wouldn’t make it worse. One of the articles mentioned this hypnotherapy app and I was skeptical but desperate. Would I really no longer have to log my food and avoid so many favorites? Either way I was willing to take the risk and give it a go and I’m so glad that I did.
We all know that IBS is exacerbated bu stress, but I didn’t realize that so much of my problem was caused by essentially living my life in fight or flight. With a brain running forever on panic mode so many normal functions go by the way side. Nerva helped me rewire and be all over less anxious and more resilient. I have a better relationship with my gut, appetite, etc. I eat what I want, but I rarely want very much of “trigger foods” but it now feels less like a stressful avoidance and more like listening to my body. I haven’t had a pain flare up since starting the program and think about my IBS less than I have in years.

I had been suffering from abdominal pain for over a year, doing all the recommended tests including a colonoscopy(!) without any findings. The doctors couldn’t find an explanation to my pain and said “it’s probably IBS”. I have been doing meditation and yoga, and then decided to try Nerva. The results were incredible, and I wasn’t sure what to believe when I noticed that my stomach cramps subsided almost instantly after using this wonderful app. Now, 3 months later, my stomach pain is not bothering me any longer, and the pain has almost vanished! I used to have pain every single day for a few hours before, and now I only get it for a few minutes a few times a month. I believe a lot of pain can be caused by anxious thoughts in the subconscious mind, and this app targets that right away. Thank you SO much for creating this app, it has really helped me get back to how I was before my stomach pain all started!

At least 50% of gut dysbiosis is caused by the taking of medications. If could in fact be the cause or perpetuator of symptoms for many IBS sufferers and further result in inflammation and leaky gut (even if the core issue is sensitive gut nerves).

Common questions
Questions about Nerva
What the reviews don’t cover.
Does Nerva work?
Nerva is a self-guided gut-directed hypnotherapy program that works with the gut–brain connection. Reviews describe individual experiences; clinical research looks at outcomes across a group. Explore Nerva’s published research to understand the evidence and what was measured. Individual results vary.
What do Nerva reviews say about bloating?
Some members discuss bloating in their reviews, including how it affected everyday life and their experience with the program. Read the selected reviews mentioning bloating. These personal experiences cannot predict your own results.
Can I use Nerva alongside a low FODMAP diet?
Nerva focuses on the gut–brain connection, while a low FODMAP diet focuses on dietary triggers. They are different approaches. Read more about low FODMAP and Nerva, and discuss dietary changes with your dietitian or clinician.
What is it like to fit Nerva into a daily routine?
Members recorded them on their own phones and shared them with Nerva. They are unscripted. What each person describes is their own experience; individual results vary.
How much does Nerva cost?
The offer shown before you subscribe includes your price, any trial, renewal and cancellation terms. These can differ by country and purchase route. Check your current offer or visit Nerva’s support center for subscription help.
