This is because the principal concentration of neurons besides the brain and spinal cord is in the gastrointestinal tract.

Among the stress-reducing techniques are meditation and mindfulness. These will reduce the frequency and severity of IBS-related symptoms, as well as abdominal pain and improve bowel habits. Other drug-free treatments are special diets, low in certain dietary sugars, and low in gluten. More info click here.
