100% agree with this. 60% of your body’s neurotransmitters are in your gut and communicate with your brain. Also most of serotonin production happens in your gut! The hormone that makes you happy and relaxed. This is why doctors prescribe SSRIs for IBS - they calm the gut nerves and improve that gut-brain communication. But, sometimes meds are not enough. Therapy could also help. Talking to someone and managing that anxiety / stress so the toll on your gut is minimized is the first step really. Best of luck 💕

same for me too?

omg this happens to me constantly! My body doesn’t understand positive happiness … it takes it on as anxiety and stress.
