![]() The digestion shuts down when we are stressed so your food will end up fermenting and rotting in your gut and feeding your SIBO and making you feel sick. Stress activates the sympathetic system which helps the body activate the “fight-or-flight” response, it pumps cortisol into your body and shuts down digestion (so basically if you have just eaten a sandwich on the go, got a call from work and you are super stressed and also had a coffee to keep you awake all afternoon, you are not in the best place to heal your SIBO). When you have a lot of stress in your life which is over a prolonged period of time and you live in a constant stage of “fight or flight”, it is bad news for SIBO. STRESS – you have probably already heard about this from your practitioner. Ever wondered why you don’t see well in the dark when you drive? Its most likely vit A deficiency which can be easily corrected with digestive enzymes and a good quality multivitamin which contains these important fat soluble vitamins.ħ. Digestive enzymes and bile acids are responsible for digesting fats and if you are not taking digestive enzymes, you run the risk of not absorbing very important fat soluble vitamins such as vit A, D, E and K. The reality is that if you have insufficient enzymes, you cannot absorb nutrients from the food so….even though you eat, you are actually STARVING YOURSELF!!! Your body is so deprived of nutrients that all sorts of health problems start popping up like heart palpitations, anaemia, low mood, insomnia, depression, severe exhaustion, brain fog, concentration problem, issues with your vision, frequent infections, joint pain, etc the list goes on as you can develop issues with your whole body and every organ if you are starved for so long because your immune system weakens.
