Yeah, so what you're seeing here is something that I want most of my patients to understand.
And when I'm talking about patients, I'm talking about patients with IBS, with functional dyspepsia.
So these disorders that fall into the category of disorders of gut-brain interaction.
And these are really frustrating disorders to have because you're going to get worked up, you're going to get all the medical checks, and they're not going to find anything.
but you're still gonna have pain, you're still gonna have symptoms, there's gonna be a lot of problems.
So what I want people to understand is that we have something called the gut-brain axis.
It's that intersection between the central nervous system and the enteric nervous system, the nervous system in the gut.
And that it's a powerful connection, and so that means what happens in the brain affects the gut.
What happens in the gut affects the brain.
And that when we start to develop these disorders, what often happens is we develop something called hypervigilance.
And that's a very anxious type of scanning of the gut.
So always kind of looking for trouble.
And then when we find it, we're catastrophizing.
That means we're thinking of the worst case scenario.
So if I had IBS and I was going to give this talk, I might notice, oh, there's something going on with my stomach.
What if I have a flare?
What if I have an attack right in the middle of the talk?
Oh my God, how embarrassing would that be?
Like, so I'm catastrophizing and that's making me anxious.
And all that anxiety is going through the gut-brain axis into the GI system and actually causing more symptoms.
