Stress Can Affect Your Stomach — New Research Research shows that stress can cause stomach problems. People with stress often have tummy trouble. Also, there is a link between bad things happening and having stomach issues later in life. Researchers in Germany and Austria think the brain and stomach can affect each other. Your stomach has many tiny creatures that make a special place inside you. This is called the gut microbiome. New research says these creatures might help your body deal with stress. The researchers looked at the stomach bugs of 74 healthy people. They put some in a stressful situation and others in a calm one. In the stressful situation, they had to do hard math problems and were told they were not good enough. The researchers checked the people's spit for a stress hormone called cortisol. The people also said how much they felt stressed. The results showed that people with more types of stomach bugs felt more stressed. Their cortisol levels went up faster when they were stressed. The study says the stomach and brain talk to each other. People with more kinds of stomach creatures might react more strongly to stress. This might not be bad. It could help in situations that need quick thinking. A more varied stomach creature mix could mean someone can change how they deal with stress. They might use their strong reaction to focus on their stress. Many things can change how people feel stress, like family, friends, and personality. The scientists say more research is needed. But this study gives a new idea about how the stomach and brain are connected.

压力可能影响你的胃——最新研究
研究表明，压力可能导致胃部问题。有压力的人常常会感到胃部不适。此外，生活中发生的不幸事件与日后出现的胃部问题之间也存在关联。
德国和奥地利的科研人员认为，大脑和胃部可以相互影响。
你的胃里有许多微小的生物，它们在你体内创造了一个特殊的环境。这被称为肠道菌群。新研究称，这些生物可能有助于你的身体应对压力。
研究人员观察了74名健康人的胃部微生物。他们让其中一些人处于压力环境中，而另一些人则处于平静环境中。
在压力环境中，他们必须解决复杂的数学问题，并被告知他们不够好。
研究人员检测了人们的唾液中的压力激素皮质醇水平。人们也表达了自己感受到的压力程度。
结果显示，拥有更多种类胃部微生物的人感到的压力更大。他们在压力状态下皮质醇水平上升得更快。
这项研究指出，胃部和大脑之间存在着对话。拥有更多种类胃部生物的人可能对压力的反应更强烈。
这未必是坏事。在需要快速思考的情况下，这可能有所帮助。
更丰富的胃部微生物组合可能意味着一个人可以改变他们应对压力的方式。他们可能会利用自己强烈的反应来专注于压力。
许多因素可以改变人们感受压力的方式，如家庭、朋友和个性。
科学家们表示，需要更多的研究。但这项研究为胃部和大脑之间的联系提供了新的见解。
