If TMS stress and anxiety can lower your immune system, a lot of the immune system interacts with the gut - this doesn't mean gut bacteria caused the fatigue, rather the fatigue and stress can change the gut bacteria. Perhaps its related to hormone changes like extra cortisol. Thoughts and feelings definitely impact hormones and immune responses. If the subconscious can restrict blood flow and oxygen to nerves, it can also allow gut bacteria to flourish or become upset to create symptoms that satisfy the sub-concious' objectives. Researchers may have a vested interest in finding a biological "cause" so they can create a product to "treat" it. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
