Does Gut send Anxiety to the brain?       07/05/05 11:52 AM Edit Reply Quote Anthem Reged: 10/01/04 Posts: 76 Loc: Phoenix, AZ We are probably all accustomed to the fact that when we are stressed, it travels from the brain to the gut, causing problems. But does it work the other way? I am beginning to believe so. Does anyone have any feelings on this? Example: I had a week where I was feeling very tense and sad and scared, but for no logical reason. Then my "D" flared up. I just wonder if the gut was communicating irritation to the brain before it manifested in IBs symptoms? I'm beginning to wonder if when I get such a special inexplicable tension, if I should pop an Immodium and see if it stops! Yesterday I was having this sensation and I got "D" and popped 2 Immodiums. A surprising result was that my emotions soon balanced, and I have felt calm ever since. So now I think the gut is controlling my emotions at times! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
