These three problems are common nowdays, especially in our desi community. I think its because of the diet we eat in our daily lives.
Do you all think that Reflux/Constipation and Diarrhea can also be caused by just general stress in our lives??
I know a case regarding reflux but any witnesses about constipation and diarrhea?
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
It can result from Stress indeed. Stress is also a main culprit which can lead to Ulcers.
Although constipation is a normal occurance, if it should continue over a long period of time, you should definately see your physician because a thorough diagnosis maybe necessary.
Choice of food too plays an important part in the way your digestive system functions. Spicy food all the time are a big no no for healthy living. There should variety.
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
I know reflux can be triggered by stress.
Constipation doesn't. So, what causes the constipation?
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
Unpleasant consumption can be one factor.

Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
I’m not sure if anger has a direct link with constipation, it leads to stress though, which then leads to other abnormalities. Though not noticeable, if prolonged can cause health problems.
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
all the processed foods that we see in our homes for every meal.. the foods we eat out are 90% all processed.. no real nutrient value at all. constipation ni hogi to aur ki hona h
also the lifestyle we chose, we do our grocery shopping online, meet and greet online, go to the corner store by car...etc all leading to a lazy, dumb, ignorant, disease filled society.. everything which shaytaan loves
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
^True. Lifestyle is a gauge of one's health and well-being.
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
grocery shopping online
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
yeah, like peapod.com and some other websites. Never used it though. You get a better satisfaction from selecting your own food at the market.
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
I guess thats a different topic, which we can discuss.
so, what about diarrhea? I know certain bacterias causes it but any other reasons besides bacterial infections?
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
When things get out of propotion, it can cause diarrhea. I’ll give you an example: A certain bacteria which would normally be found on the skin though harmless, can become an agent for upset stomach if it ends up in the G.I. Tract because it doesn’t belong there.
Our bodies recognize foreign agents (bacteria) based on their previous recognition and function. Everytime we get ill, our defence systems take a snapshot of that bacteria before it is disposed by the method of microphage, so next time it comes into the body, the body can take appropriate action having recognized it. There are bacterias that are excellent for the body as long as they stay in the organs where they are beneficial, if found elsewhere can cause problems.
I hope that made sense. 
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
^ You totally makes sense. So, again it means bacterial infections are the cause but there is no scientific proof of getting a diarrhea because of psychological disturbance, right?
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
No. To put it simply, bacterias should mind their own business and not end up where they don’t belong. 
Like the example i cited earlier, a bacteria of one organ in another organ can cause body to react, which will then result in an upset stomach or whatever have you.
That in Layman’s terms.
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
good point
If bacterias could understand all that then they shouldn’t be having Conjugations 
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
My son has had trouble with reflux and constipation since birth. I doubt that it has to do with anger or stress. He has low muscle tone and gastroparesis which means that his body is very slow to process and move food thru his system. Diet helps, we make sure he gets lots of fiber and carrots which seem to help. Smaller meals more often also.
When you have chronic contstipation like my son, its always a good idea to see a GI doc and have them do some tests. When we took him to a new doc, they did a stool sample as routine and we found out that he had a long-term infection of Giardia (an intestinal parasite)!! At first, the parasite causes diarhea and symptoms similar to food poisoning. If not treated, it can cause reflux, weight loss, constipation and malabsorbsion. So once we got that treated, he improved. Still has constipation issues from the low-tone but no more reflux.
Anyway, point is ... constipation is just as real a medical issue as diarrhea. And best to get it checked out!
^ You totally makes sense. So, again it means bacterial infections are the cause but there is no scientific proof of getting a diarrhea because of psychological disturbance, right?
Stress absolutely causes diarrhea regardless of any bacterial infection.
Please read about IBS-Irritable bowel syndrome which is the biggest example I can give but motility of bowel, acidity of stomach ( Read: Curling ulcer) is affected by stress no doubt.
Another way stress can cause diarrhea and other GI upset is by indirect method when the person eats without properly chewing the food or eats at wrong time or wrong kind of food or even no food.
Re: Reflux/Constipation/Diarrhea
Stress, change of eating routine (because of travel), lack of sleep .. all could cause constipation
