Stress is a well-known factor in the development and exacerbation of Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Stress can lead to an increase in the release of hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which can in turn lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, cramping, and diarrhoea. Stress can also cause changes in the body's microbiome, which is the population of organisms that live in the digestive tract. This can lead to an imbalance of good and bad bacteria which can cause inflammation and GI symptoms. Stress can also increase the risk of developing disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The effects of stress on the GI tract can be both acute and chronic. Acute stress can trigger an immediate response, leading to a flare-up of symptoms, while chronic stress can have a more long-term effect, increasing the risk of developing disorders. To help manage the effects of stress on the GI tract, it is important to practice stress-relieving activities such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to ensure the body is able to cope with stress.
