The Second Brain by Michael Gershon is a fascinating book. I came aross this book while doing a search on the connection between anxiety and constipation. I know there is one I could feel the direct connection between my pannic attacks and my bowl movements. Not only being constpated but when i would go from constipation to releasing the old poo so to speak it would induce a painnic attack from the nasty toxins that were being backed up inside me for so long.
I thought I would share this book with you I just bought it on Amazon and I can't wait to get it. I payed 11. with shipping just incase you all want to check it out. Here is a link on some fun facts about the gut.http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Wexler3.html
Yes, I remember reading
Yes, I remember reading something a while back about the intestines being a second brain in the body, having just as many receptor's as the brain or something like that. It was very interesting. I too have noticed a direct correlation between what is going on with me bowel wise and anxiety. Tends to affect my ability to calm down at night and sleep as well. All very interesting.

well I am 1/3 of the way through this book and I have to say I am having a hard time with it thus far.
