Being Sensitive: Wellness Program for Abdominal Health

Research has shown highly sensitive individuals are more vulnerable to abdominal health stress due to dual sensory innervation in the gastrointestinal tract.

Gut Inflammation & Injury

Sensitives are at a greater risk for developing sensitive states in response to gut inflammation or injury. However, this risk is dependent upon how the brain processes sensory information received from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

The major issue associated with sensitive states from gut inflammation, or visceral pain hypersensitivity, is irritable bowel syndrome. Visceral hypersensitivity is when we experience pain from the visceral organs, in this case the stomach. Visceral pain is usually felt by highly sensitive people through a hypersensitive awareness or perception of pain in the abdomen. However, this type of pain is commonly diagnosed as functional gastrointestinal disorder. Additionally, if you feel you have experienced emotional upsets, inflammation, and sensitized states from acute sensitivity you can also treat gastrointestinal conditions related to your sensitivity.
