Help with loose poops
There are different reasons as to why are you struggling with loose poops, the urgency to go out every meal and extreme bloating. A lot of the time this is down to our bodies being in the sympathetic nervous system, which is known as fight and flight. This causes lots of inflammation and especially reacts in a negative way with your digestive track. Most of my clients who have severe loose poops are extremely busy, Over-thinkers, worries and are more in their anxious state throughout the day. For me this = the modern lifestyle.
When you are in your fight and flight mode constantly, it will actively turn off your digestive system and keep your body in its stressed state, this creates inflammation and is where the body can be more open to illness and disease.
