As 'unique' as you are
So what are the symptoms of gut brain disconnect (GBD)? This is a pretty difficult one to answer from what I've understood about it... Though I'm still learning so feel free to take it as a pinch of salt! In always happy to be disproven and keen to keep leaning.
As suggested by this entries title, the symptoms seem to be different for everyone. Though some symptoms may be the same, how they present maybe completely different...! For me, the main symptoms I've consistently experienced over the past 12 months are as follows:
- Abdominal pain - being constant in my lower right side and regularly becoming acute
- Nausea
- Fatigue and lathagy
- Brain fog
- Absence of any kind of appetite
Unfortunately these symptoms can be associated with any number of issues, hence GBD seems to be something that can only be diagnosed through ruling out everything else, and even then there's no 'absolute' test that can be done. Like I say, this is my experience, and I'm sure there's those of you out there who have been told you have GBD but don't have any of what I've listed...! The relationship between the body and mind is something that continues to boggle my brain that's for sure!
If anyone is happy to share how they present, I'd be most curious, it also might help someone else to feel less alone in what they are experiencing.
Anyway, Ta ta for now!
