In the course of my many years as a "digestive", I have been interested in what symptoms rear their head with IBS. One of the more surprising ones for me seems to be crying, which starts with the onset of an IBS attack and is relieved when the attack is over. The crying is not constant and comes and goes. It doesn't happen with every attack either.
My psychiatrist has ruled out clinical depression, and my body seems to display this symptom only in conjunction with my IBS cycles. Since IBS is a brain-gut disorder, and anxiety is closely correlated, could there be a physiological aspect to this crying, specifically in relation to neurotransmitters and the enteric nervous system?
Thought, questions or comments?
