Whether you are a comfort eater, or someone who can’t eat when they feel stressed, many of us have experienced first hand how our mood can vastly affect our appetite.
In addition to the effect that stress can have on hunger, research has revealed that what goes on in our gut can also influence how we feel. Scientists refer to this two-way street of communication between the brain and the gut as the “gut-brain axis.”
Research into whether specific probiotics (beneficial bacteria) can affect our mood, and the mechanisms behind these effects, is booming in the human and veterinary medical fields. So far, the results show that the flora present in the guts of humans and animals is indeed correlated with a variety of positive and negative emotional traits, including calmness, anxiety and depression.
The bacteria that are present in our guts can be altered by the ingestion of probiotics, as well as the presence of some disease-causing bacteria like Campylobacter jejuni, (a common cause of diarrhea and mucus or bloody stools in dogs). Studies have also revealed that the presence of these bacteria can cause mood changes in humans and animals.
