Deep dives
The Role of Expectancy in Food Sensitivity
The brain's protective response to negative food reactions leads to expectancy where negative symptoms are anticipated after eating. Hypervigilance can increase nerve sensitivity in the digestive tract due to the body's fight-or-flight response. Managing symptom anxiety is crucial as it predicts the severity of symptoms, even more than organic disease markers.
