- colitis;
- gastritis;
- peptic ulcer at an early stage.
Disturbances in the functioning of the intestines often begin with nervous shock. One of the most common psychosomatic diseases is colitis. Inflammations are not treated with standard therapy, because the cause does not lie in intestinal infections, poisoning, or polyps or other possible neoplasms. It is stress and nervous disorders that negatively affect the functioning of the digestive system, primarily the intestines and stomach.
Suspicions of a gastric ulcer should also include a diagnosis of the state of the nervous system. The constant production of stress hormones affects high stomach acidity, disruption of receptors and food digestion. Proton pump inhibitors and heartburn medications only provide temporary results. Until the functioning of the nervous system is normalized and sleep is improved, digestion will be accompanied by unpleasant symptoms, which may ultimately result in a stomach ulcer.
