These are symptoms of trauma as a root cause.

As it turns out, my life long stomach aches/digestive issues stemmed from internalized stress. I tried everything within the healthcare system (including a $400 allergy test that revealed I have no tangible allergies) and everything within the naturopath and Traditional Chinese Medicine realms, but found no solution. I ended up seeing a Body Talk/Craniosacral Practitioner, out of desperation, and learned that I had “anxious tummy”, likely stemming from a tumultuous and fearful upbringing. So my “gut” tends to be preoccupied with trying to understand and “digest” the world around me, which takes away from my body’s ability to process food. Interesting. In any case, seeing this alternative practitioner on a regular basis has solved my issue, and in the process I’ve learned valuable new life skills. Win-win. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
