Have you ever felt nauseous? Ever felt butterflies in your stomach? Why do we use such expressions? We definitely use them for a reason. The gut and brain are connected. You feel emotions in your gastrointestinal tract. Feelings such as Anger, anxiety, sadness, elation, etc.
The relationship between the gut and the brain is reciprocal. Similar to how the brain communicates with the gut, the gut communicates with the brain. For instance, if your brain alerts your stomach to a wonderful meal, your stomach may release juices as a result. Likewise, a person’s stomach/ gut/ intestinal distress can cause or be a product of someone’s anxiety, stress, inflammation, and depression.
GUT HEALTH AND ANXIETY
It's simpler to comprehend how your brain may truly trigger physiological changes in your body that are giving you these pains, proving that they are not in your mind, now that you are aware of how closely the brain and gut interact. In actuality, you're experiencing stress, agony, nausea, and cramping. And that's not all; stress brought on by intestinal problems can make the symptoms worse; it creates a vicious cycle.
