Never thought about it this way but it would make a lot of sense. nostr:note1rt4wcl488pvstm7gzn0qmlnash3m2d70pmnkx5skzfgwmj45tskqxzktcc

Chronic pain sufferer here. What the pharmaceutical and food industries have done to my guts filled me with anger. They stole so much of my life away.
Fix your guts, fix your life. Unbalanced gut bacteria will send counterproductive signals to the brain.
I grew up the same. I was diagnosed with IBS but in reality it was just the high amounts of sugar in everything I was eating and drinking. The doctors prescribed everything under the sun but the only thing that worked at the end of the day was drinking water and not eating crappy food.
it can be really hard to find things that are not crappy but one of the easiest heuristics is if it comes in a packet and isn't a raw ingredient it's probably crappy
and unfortunately, sloth and distraction are what make these "easy" foods attractive
tends to be only when your life is diminished by the sickness that you actually do something, just like happened to you, and happened to me and to gek here as well

By the time I understood it was the guts AND found someone that could help, other doctors had already done so much damage. The dysbiosis was so heavy that treating it with only diet was near impossible. The people at the lab were stunned by my breath test, never saw that much hydrogen coming out of a person. Was poisoned by bacteria’s fart most of my life, hydrogen weakening most of my systems over time. Body, brain, everything takes the hit.
Too many antibiotics as a kid, sugar everywhere. Fuck them
there is a huge amount of mostly automated information processing systems outside of the brain... you may have heard the expression "muscle memory"
well there is also other types that relate to telemetry and control systems for organs...
for example, it can happen that you get pain in a part of your abdomen and this is from those nerves signalling a problem, and the signal "bleeds" across into other nerves and sends a signal - this happens often to trigger, for example, diaphragm muscles to cramp and it's not from strain on the muscle it's from this bleed-through
