Does gravity have anything to do with IBS?
The HinduAn invisible force has played a very important role in the evolution of life on Earth. “It’s just a hypothesis, but people with IBS might be prone to over-predicting G-force threats that never occur,” Dr Spiegel said. “If these systems cannot manage the drag of gravity, then it can cause issues like pain, cramping, lightheadedness, sweating, rapid heartbeat and back issues—all symptoms seen with IBS. Though the body has evolved to carry the load of organs, especially the gut, failure of support may result in IBS symptoms such as pain, cramping, lightheadedness, back problems and rapid heartbeat, the paper noted. Dr Spiegel thinks that serotonin may have partly evolved to manage the effects of gravity throughout our bodily systems, although further research is needed to prove this theory.
