Your hyper sensitivity to the gas’s might actually cause the stress, which in turn causes more symptoms. Find a way to relax and let the gas be.
Find what works for you: mindfulness, sports, hypnosis, medication…
However, try first to focus on normalising your perception of the gas.
- mtreis86 3y agoThis is called IBS, and is caused by bacteria digesting certain carbs very rapidly. Identify the foods with a low Fodmap diet, figure out the quantity that doesnt trigger issues, and live mostly normally. I cant eat fructose at all, and only small amounts of garlic or onions.
- nerdponx 3y agoI think the "hypersensitivity" line is BS, or at least it's not a complete explanation. In my and others' cases, the "psychiatric" GI symptoms precede the physiological ones. The only time I ever got a straight answer is when I ended up at the hospital because I was passing out, and they said it was likely some combination of low blood pressure and vagus nerve overstimulation.
- polishdude20 3y agoHmm interesting! Maybe I can try measuring my blood pressure during these times of tiredness.
- sirsinsalot 3y agoIt is well established that vagus disruption during digestion has all sorts of side effects. Including anxiety.
- nerdponx 3y agoRight, point being that's not a psychological hypersensitivity, it's a lower level subconscious physiological process.
