GASTRIC HEADACHES

GASTRIC HEADACHES

Gastric headaches can arise due to the issues in your gut system. The gut-brain connection is more prevalent than most people realize. Not only do the nerves in your central nervous system and your GI tract form around the same time in a developing fetus, but this gut-brain connection remains prevalent as you grow as part of hormonal signaling and immune system activity. Because of this, it should come as no surprise that issues in your gut can lead to symptoms in your head, and vice versa.
