Is Stress Causing Your Upset Stomach?

Is Stress Causing Your Upset Stomach?

Are you experiencing stress from any of the following?

·        Exams

·        Relationships

·        Deadlines

·        Generalized worry

·        Financial concerns

·        Bad foods

If so, you know how the stomach can be directly affected from mental stress causing bloating, cramping, diarrhea, and or constipation to name a few symptoms.  From my experience, typical drugstore, over-the-counter medication doesn’t adequately treat all these symptoms.

Few students realize how helpful peppermint oil enteric coated capsules can be especially around finals.  Well over a dozen scientific studies have validated the effectiveness of peppermint oil on calming the gastrointestinal tract.  This has led many doctors to begin prescribing peppermint oil for gastrointestinal disturbances and spasms.  From my experience, the peppermint oil capsules very rarely ever cause side effects and profoundly benefit the user. 

To a lesser degree, peppermint oil also kills yeast or candida albicans which can also cause gastrointestinal disturbances.  Killing yeast is important for girls and guys in order to have maximum vitality. 

Yeast overgrowth can be caused by:

·        Binge Drinking

·        Antibiotics

·        Sugar

·        Birth Control pills

·        Excessive Carbohydrates

·        Artificial Sweeteners

Symptoms of yeast overgrowth aside from recurrent yeast infections in women include:

·        Brain fog/Poor Memory/Slow to learn concepts or ideas/Lack of concentration

·        Fatigue/Low energy

·        Low Mood, Anxiety, Irritability

·        Frequently Sick

·        Digestion issues, diarrhea, constipation

Instead of using synthetic over-the-counter drugs, choose an enteric coated peppermint oil capsule or softgel.   Typical instructions are one capsule 1-2 times daily as needed.

If you don’t have peppermint softgels available you can always drink a special anti-stress stomach concoction.   Brew 2 teabags of peppermint tea (I prefer organic tea bags) with one or two bags of chamomile tea.  Let steep for at least 5 minutes and then enjoy.  You may drink this warm or over ice throughout the day to calm stomach nerves.  A simple tea concoction can make a profound difference for some people who struggle with nervous indigestion or stomach upset.
