It’s All in Your Gut! How to Enhance Mood, Immunity and More through Digestion gut-wrenching" experience? Do
certain situations make you "feel nauseous"? Have you ever felt "butterflies" in your stomach? We use these
expressions for a reason. The gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotion. Anger, anxiety, sadness, elation all of
these feelings (and others) can trigger symptoms in the gut. The brain has a direct effect on the stomach. For
example, the very thought of eating can release the stomach's juices before food gets there. This connection goes
both ways. A troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut.
Therefore, a person's stomach or intestinal distress can be the cause or the product of anxiety, stress, or
depression. That's because the brain and the gastrointestinal (GI) system are intimately connected.
