Calming the gut brain

Has anyone been diagnosed? I went to Mayo and this is the only thing they could come up with. I have been sick for years and got no answers. I guess it’s kind of a new thing and they are still learning about it.

I have not been diagnosed with this and appt with a GI doctor is November but I suspect I do. I did research. I take an anti epileptic drug . Had gall bladder removed in October 2014. The so called good bacteria in my GI tract effected by this. I have constipation gas etc. My neurologist reduced the dose of my anti epileptic drug. I added a probiotic supplement earlier this month. Been working on dietary changes as well since January. I am finally better. I do not know to put in my comments the specific journal articles where I find this but they are medical journals. The gut brain axis is linked to depression anxiety and other neurological issues.

Hi @hansenshorses. Being sick for so long is difficult. I have been struggling for a while as well, I feel your pain.

Are you saying Mayo Clinic, I assume GI gave you a diagnosis of “Disorder of Gut-Brain interaction“, same as @wishingonastar?

Are you comfortable sharing more about what brought you to Mayo and what they recommended? How is this impacting your day-to-day currently?
