Have you ever had ‘butterfly’s’ in your stomach from anxiety or excitement? Or have you had to make a
“gut-wrenching” decision under pressure? Well then you know how stress, and other events can affect your digestive system.

They call the gut the second brain for a reason. The gut and your brain are constantly in communication.
In fact, there are more neurons, (nerve cells), in the gut then in the entire spinal cord, according to the book Neuroscience.

“Stress can affect every part of the digestive system,” says Kenneth Koch, MD, professor of medicine in gastroenterology.
