Digestive ibs gut issues — elchessboy
elchessboy
This person describes long-running IBS-type digestive symptoms — diarrhea, unpredictable bowels, cramps and reactions to many foods — which they came to understand as a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight rather than a food problem. They report that giving up the struggle and letting the nervous system feel safe is what allowed them to cure their insomnia years ago, and they've watched many people, even after decades of IBS, heal through a mind-body approach. Their message is hopeful: symptoms can fade as the brain relearns safety, and setbacks along the way are normal and not dangerous.
