Does anyone's digestive tract or digestion "change" when (hypo)manic?

TMI, but I keep getting diarrhea right now. Always happens when hypomanic or manic. Then I also don't feel hungry on top of that, so I hardly eat a thing. I keep shitting and not eating.

When depressed, I get constipation.. Though I wonder if it's from me eating lazy people food? (Usually I'm too depressed to cook food, so I just eat lazy things that take 0-60 seconds to prepare, hence the possibility of that causing constipation.)

There is a lot of evidence that mental states and the gut are closely linked.

I agree with Laurie. There are strong links between gut health and psychiatric states.

Good luck with the shiiting.

Holy crap there's gotta be a link, my past acute anxiety was always followed immediately with a trip to the washroom! (Still is on occasion)

Perhaps some probiotics would help?

I take lactobacillus acidophilus. Keeps me regular. I sound like an old person when I say that.

That's a good idea. I'll start trying that.

Probiotics helped my gut get back on track in 2015 after months of diarrhea and weight loss. That and limiting gluten and fatty greasy foods.
