The Mind-Gut Connection: Resources
What does the mind have to do with problems in the stomach and digestive tract, like inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), acid reflux (GERD), Crohn's disease and irritable bowel disease?
The Mind-Gut Connection Series
UW Health psychiatrist Janice Singles, PsyD, in cooperation with UW Health Digestive Health Services doctors and staff, shows how the mind and gut are connected and why you might be experiencing GI symptoms.
Dr. Singles' clinical interests include providing outpatient and inpatient services to patients with a variety of health problems, including digestive health issues like inflammatory bowel disease. She addresses how a person's mental processes can influence their digestive health, and how mindfulness-based stress reduction can help people with digestive health issues.
