Our gut possesses a separate brain, called the enteric nervous system<\/span>. It is a grand network of 100-300 Mio neurotransmitters, neurons, and proteins found in the stomach, small intestine, esophagus, and colon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It has cells like brain-cells<\/span> and a complex circuitry that lets it act independently, remember, and produce what we call gut feelings. Are you really OK with a situation before<\/u> your intellectual understanding has sunk into your gut brain<\/u><\/span>?<\/span><\/p>\n

This elaborate and complex network is designed to monitor the digestion of the foods we take in. It sends and receives impulses to organs, and the head-brain via the vagus nerve. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many disorders originate from problems in the Gut Brain. Constipation is often caused by stress signals from the head. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is also the home of our four different feeling systems<\/strong><\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

  2. (secondary) emotional responses<\/span> to a past event that has been thought about and thoroughly reviewed,<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. background feelings<\/span> that occur when the feelings of #1 and #2 are not present. We are only aware of them when we check our body for ongoing sensations,<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. when we deliberately feel an object or individual<\/span>.
