Re: About anxiety       05/16/07 06:24 PM Edit Reply Quote dmdentre Reged: 06/09/04 Posts: 47 Loc: New England Hi! I am a medical student, and I know way too well the effects of anxiety on the gut. When we are stressed, nerves that travel from our brain to the rest of our body are activated. The hormones and neurotransmitters that are released from those nerves cause your gut to either slow down, cramp or malfunction - depending on who you are (back in the day when our stress response was for survival, we didn't want to be digesting when it was time to run from a tiger). In addition, our gut has its own nervous system that releases hormones in relation to stress. This is a very simple explanation, but I hope it works! I hope that you feel better! Good luck in law school. Danielle Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
