27. The Strong Link Between IBS and Trauma
IBS is so frustrating. It's mostly just a catch all phrase for a doctor to say "I don't actually know what is causing your symptoms." I struggled with IBS-C (constipation dominant) for so much of my life.
The thing is... IBS is a dysfunction of the gut-brain connection. Therefore, how our nervous system is functioning is essential when it comes to IBS. In fact, 50 - 74% of people diagnosed with IBS report having childhood trauma or adverse early life experiences. An incredible statistic that shows just how impactful chronic and traumatic stress is on our gut health, and how supporting the nervous system is such a key piece.
