Description
IBS is sometimes called a disorder of the gut brain connection, and how we think about digestive functions can be a powerful predictor of symptoms like bloating, sensitivity and diarrhoea.
This doesn't mean it's all in your head, far from it, but we can use knowledge of the gut-brain axis to help calm flare ups, and soothe your dodgy digestion.
This episode covers:
- What is the vagus nerve and how does it affect your IBS?
- Breathing techniques for IBS
