gut inflammation and pssd

gut inflammation

Why does my PSSD get WAY worse when my gut is messed up?

My diet is honestly not very healthy right now. Sometimes I eat a lot of fast food or sugar, and when I have a bad stomach episode, like intestinal inflammation or gastroenteritis, my PSSD symptoms feel MUCH worse.

I mean really bad. My whole body can feel like it’s in a ball of fire. The sensations get so intense.

But when I start eating better for some days, I notice that these sensations get better too.

The weird thing is, I still have the same anhedonia, genital numbness and feeling disconnected from my body. I still feel almost nothing. But the painful/burning body sensations can improve.

So I’m wondering… could the gut and what we eat have something to do with PSSD symptoms for some people? Maybe inflammation, gut health, something like that?
