Gut feelings really do come from the gut; it is truly the primitive brain. Your gut knows thins you may not and reacts with or without your approval or awareness. When emotions, diet and your unique intestinal flora (biome) lose their balance, they result in diarrhea, bloating, distention, gas, constipation and abdominal pain.

Probiotics
A powerful physical and emotional core means a healthy gut. A healthy gut means healthy bacteria thrive keeping your immune system strong, your emotions stable and your cravings healthy. Often, stress and emotional distress upset this balance; you know this as bloating, excessive gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation or intolerance to certain foods.
Research has shown that anxiety, and cravings for sweets also resides in the gut bacteria: change your bacteria, change your mood, your cravings and lose weight.
