Gastrointestinal issues and the mind

2019-10-21 00:47:25
Many say that GI disorders like constipation, IBS, rectocele, ODS etc. can be controlled and cured by controlling the mind. Is it true that the mind plays a role in preventing GI disorders? Is it just a mind game? If so, what can I do to calm the mind?
