🌿 Do your gut symptoms flare up easily under stress?

Many people with IBS-type sensitive gut experience:

• Diarrhea during anxiety or stress

• Bloating after small meals

• Alternating constipation and diarrhea

• Normal medical tests but persistent discomfort

• Fear of eating or going out

• Symptoms closely linked to emotions

In TCM, IBS reflects a functional imbalance between emotional regulation, Qi flow, and digestive rhythm, rather than structural disease.
