Stress and How it Creates Constipation

Stress is the number one killer throughout the world. All the statistics about death rates relate to cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. But these diseases have their origins in stress, in anxiety, and neuroses and not many people are really talking about how this happens. Stress and anxiety use up a lot of nutrition in the body and when it is not replaced disease is formed.

Stress simply relates to childhood trauma that was not resolved. It relates to trauma that was endured by a child where that child was helpless to defend against it. Does this sound familiar to you? Most of us have had this type of trauma induced by our parents or relatives. The trauma that is most devastating is the type that is continual – day after day and year after year. This type of trauma changes behaviors and body functions.

Behavior has to change to adjust to the internal power of the suppressed trauma. Early trauma is stored in the body and not released unless it is resolved through psychotherapy. Likewise body functions have to change to accommodate the internal force of the trauma.

So what and how does all this have to do with constipation. Constipation occurs when fecal matter remains in the colon longer than it should. Constipation is cause by a person not eating the right foods, living the right lifestyle, and learning how to relax.

When you have experienced excess trauma, early on, your natural behavior has changed and you will tend to eat those foods that suppress stress and anxiety. Early trauma is still active in your behavior and needs to be suppressed so that you are not living the early experience constantly. As you age, you will find and eat those foods that give the most relief from the pain suffered early on. Mostly, the food that provides this suppression is junk and processed foods, foods that do not flow easily through your colon, and foods that do not supply the nutrients needed to keep your colon healthy.

In the next article, I will discuss how stress creates constipation. So, come back to find out more about how your early childhood trauma produces stress and sickness.
