How Digestive Disease Effect The Brain?

Digestive diseases are among the leading causes of doctor visits, hospitalizations, and disability in the whole world every year. These conditions span a broad spectrum of disorders that affect the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder, obesity and other nutrition-related disorders.
We all talk about "gut feelings," but few of us appreciate the amazingly strong connections between the brain and the digestive system. The stomach and intestines have more nerve cells than the entire spinal cord; the experts call the digestive system a "mini brain." A nerve runs directly from the real brain to the digestive system, and all the messages flow in two directions. Consider this: 95% of the body's serotonin -- a hormone that helps control mood -- is found in the digestive system, not the brain.

There are many reasons why our digestive system should pay such close attention to our brains. In times of stress, our bodies are designed to focus on the things which will help us to stay alive. At the point when our ancestors had to fight off hyenas or run away from cave bears, they didn't want to waste any energy on less important things like proper digestion.
The corticotropin-releasing hormone also turns off appetite, which explains why some people can't eat anything when they're stressed. Meanwhile, the steroids triggered by CRH can make a person hungry, which is why some people fight stress with ice cream, chocolate, or potato chips.
Different people have different responses to stress, and there's no way to say for sure how specific situations will affect the digestion.
For more details on the digestive diseases and its effects join us with the most eminent and well-renowned scientist.
