   A Traumatic Experience Can Reshape Your Microbiome

   From Science of Us: A recent study suggests that our guts may harbor evidence   
   of traumatic life experiences many years after the fact, impacting our   
   digestion and the way our bodies process stress.

   The idea that mental functioning is dependent on digestive processes goes back   
   to Pinel in the late 1700’s/early 1800’s. He was also able to get his   
   patients functional at a better rate than modern psychiatrists.

   I believe an important part of my recovery has been changing my diet in an   
   effort to support a healthy gut microbiome. I find all the research on the   
   enteric nervous system and the brain-gut connection utterly fascinating. In my   
   case, I was a very sickly    
   child and spent most of ten years from age 2-12 on a steady stream of   
   antibiotics to treat unresolvable ear infections. And this was in the 1980s   
   before there was information widely available to the general public about gut   
   health or the importance of    
   using probiotics to restore after taking antibiotics. I believe this   
   contributed to my emotional dysregulation as a child. I’ve spent the better   
   part of the last two years during and now after withdrawing from psych meds   
   also working actively to heal    
   my gut with homemade fermented foods and I believe it has made a substantial   
   contribution to my recovery. I would encourage others, especially those who   
   have had chronic exposures to antibiotics, to try a gut healing diet protocol.   
      
   The only criticism I have to this article is that it suggests talk therapy to   
   heal IBS and other functional gut disorders when what is actually needed is a   
   diet change and a change in bacterial colonization. I have heard others also   
   suggest that    
   treatment of IBS should be relegated to psychotherapy and psychiatry and I   
   find that disheartening. What we need is more nutritional counseling and less   
   head shrinking.
