A few of us have long harbored the suspicion that disaffected, damaged or diminished gut bacteria may play a larger role in this busy little burrowing badger of an illness (I'm looking at you @ljimbo423) than anyone's hitherto given it credit for.
This, in spite of the relatively pronounced incidence of IBS issues in our community, along with other digestive disruptions like slow motility and gastroparesis (serious slow motility), SIBO, leaky gut as well as others, possibly even sensitivity to B vitamins, many of which are produced in the gut by bacteria, and other supps that we seem to show sensitivity to.
Now, a Canadian experiment has linked the effects of stress, and the subsequent damage to the immune system, to Crohn's disease.
It's not a huge leap to expand that to other chronic autoimmune and inflammatory illnesses, or others, including ours.
Is stress to blame for Crohn's disease? Anxiety hormones impede the body's ability to fight off bad gut bacteria by disabling immune cells and causing the inflammatory disease, study suggests
