I’m having a digestion problem for some time now. Especially at stressful situations. Even small stress / nervousness can trigger urgency.
I’m already trying to solve that problem with some of you in another thread.
I’m pretty sure it has something to do with my hormones.
cortisol, serotonin, adrenalin, dhea or prolactin. (+histamine)
But some months ago I discovered that smoking immediately helps.
It’s like the brain-gut connection is off.
But it only helps for some time.
(I’m a non smoker btw)
So what could be the reason / mechanism for it helping so much ?
At first I thought the increase in stomach acid or bile.
For some time I even thought I was low on Serotonin. (And supplemented 5htp which I dropped some time ago !)
I read online it could be:
- tar from smoke coating the intestines?
- increases / decreases cortisol
- increases dhea
- increases stomach acid
.
.
.
I guess Lab test for those markers are inevitable.
