Stomachaches and GI Problems
On of the most astounding findings about the human body would be the gut-brain, or the microbiome that is closely linked to our central nervous system. Since the stomach, or rather the bacteria that live there, and the brain are interwoven, it comes as no surprise that those people under a lot of stress may develop uncomfortable stomach conditions.
Stress commonly causes diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), food allergies, and even painful ulcers. Before you pick up over the counter or prescription medication to deal with these gastrointestinal issues, though, you should consider more natural alternatives. It has been found that the best way to deal with stress-related stomach problems is to exercise.
