Listening To Intestine Sounds. Quote From Ray

[NommyWommy]

"There are biofeedback gadgets, some very simple, that can easily make the connections between thought and body function clear. Just a stethoscope to listen to intestine sounds is helpful." Ray Peat

Could anyone explain why this would be helpful and what we would be listening for?

Thank you

You just listen to what is happening. Your emotions and thinking effect your body, and most of us are not aware of that.

Is there a criteria for the listening ie quieter is better. Generally I know my digestion is quite noisy. I'm not sure if this is good or bad?

Thanks

I think noise is better than no noise. In nursing school they teach that if someone has no sounds that’s a dangerous sign meaning the bowels have no activity which could be due to obstruction, impaction.
