Why do I and my girlfriend always suffer from constipation and bloating when we spend time together?

From a psychoanalytical perspective, it could be said that a person's physical reactions are not just a direct expression of physiological phenomena, but often contain complex information at the psychological, emotional and even subconscious levels. In the situation you describe, you and your partner both experienced constipation, flatulence, hiccups and body odor during the period of intense love. These physical reactions, which seem to be related to the digestive system, may actually be deeply connected to your emotional state, psychological stress and subconscious expectations.

I. The psychological state during the period of intense love

The period of intense love is a time of strong emotions, new experiences, and uncertainty. During this phase, individuals may experience a range of intense emotions, including feelings of happiness, tension, anxiety, and fear.

It is thought that Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, believed that these emotional experiences are not limited to the psychological level, but could also affect the physical state through the mechanism of mind-body interaction.

2. The emotional connection to the body

It is a long-held belief among psychologists that emotional states can affect the body through psychosomatic pathways. For instance, the tension and anxiety associated with being in love can trigger the body's "fight or flight" response, which may result in temporary suppression or disruption of digestive system function.

It is possible that the physiological changes caused by this psychological stress may be one of the reasons why you and your partner experience symptoms such as constipation and flatulence.

3. The role of the subconscious

It may be helpful to consider that, according to psychoanalytic theory, the unconscious plays an important role in an individual's mental activity, storing repressed desires, fears, and conflicts. During the period of intense love, when two people try to become more emotionally intimate and integrated, this process may trigger subconscious content related to attachment, self-identity, and boundaries.

For instance, the pursuit of an ideal relationship may unintentionally intensify the psychological pressure on both partners, which could manifest as physical symptoms such as constipation and flatulence.

4. The potential impact of diet and lifestyle

It would be remiss of us not to consider the role of diet and lifestyle in this process. During a relationship, people tend to have more social activities, such as eating out and partying, which may lead to changes in eating habits, such as eating more, eating more greasy food, or irregular eating habits. These may directly affect the function of the digestive system, which in turn may cause symptoms such as constipation and flatulence.

5. Psychological Adjustment and Solutions

It would be beneficial to consider the psychological and emotional factors behind these physical reactions when developing appropriate coping strategies. One approach could be to build psychological resilience and learn to manage emotions and stress, for instance through mindfulness meditation, expressing and sharing emotions, and effective communication between couples. This may help to reduce psychological stress and, in turn, its negative impact on the body.

Secondly, it may be helpful to consider that eating a healthy diet and living a regular life, as well as maintaining moderate physical activity, could potentially contribute to improving the function of the digestive system. Finally, if symptoms persist, it might be beneficial to consult a professional medical or mental health service for more targeted guidance and assistance.

From a psychoanalytical perspective, it is possible that the physical symptoms you and your partner experienced during your honeymoon period may have been influenced by a combination of emotional states, psychological stress, and subconscious factors. It may be helpful to consider that these symptoms can be effectively managed and that physical and mental health can be promoted through psychological adjustment, lifestyle improvements, and seeking professional help when necessary.

Hello, I'm Jokerev. Dear friend, I assure you that although your question may seem strange, it is not uncommon or incomprehensible from a psychological counseling perspective.

Our emotional state, psychological tension, and living habits undoubtedly affect the body during the period of being in love.

From a psychoanalytical perspective, our psychological state directly affects our physical reactions, a phenomenon known as psychosomatic interaction. When we are in love, we experience changes in the autonomic nervous system due to excessive excitement, tension, or anticipation.

This system is responsible for regulating the functioning of the digestive tract. When we are in a highly emotional state, such as the sweet tension of being in love, the autonomic nervous system is temporarily "distracted," affecting the normal peristalsis and digestion of the intestines. This can lead to symptoms such as constipation and flatulence.

Furthermore, you may have noticed changes in your lifestyle during the period of being in love, such as your eating habits, sleeping hours, and even an unknowingly increased food intake in a happy mood. These are the physiological causes of gastrointestinal discomfort.

Burping and farting are normal. They're the body's way of getting rid of excess gas. When the digestive process is affected, the evacuation of gas may become less smooth.

Your body's reaction is not simply overeating. It is the result of a combination of factors, including psychological stress, changes in lifestyle, and physiological stress responses. Pay attention to physical and mental health, maintain good living habits, adjust your diet appropriately, and relieve your emotions through meditation and deep breathing. This will achieve a better balance for your body and mind.

Your love will flourish spiritually and find more stable support in good health.

Hello! Thank you so much for your question. I'm ZQ, a heart exploration coach from the Yixinli platform. I'm happy to help! Generally speaking, constipation and flatulence are mainly related to whether the food you eat is suitable for digestion. At the same time, we also need to know that people are not only composed of physical parts, but also have psychological levels. The physical and psychological are interrelated.

If you're feeling anxious and depressed, it can really take a toll on your digestive system. Stress can make it harder for your peristalsis to work properly, which can lead to more constipation or flatulence. It's so important to consider all these factors!

If you find that when you are with your girlfriend, you get constipated and have flatulence, it might be helpful to think more about how you get along with each other and what your relationship dynamic is like. It seems like your description doesn't give a very detailed picture, so it's hard to speculate.

So we can take a closer look at what is really going on between you and your girlfriend during your time together, and then how your personal emotions are, and how the other person feels. Generally speaking, a good relationship is mutually supportive, and each person can feel relaxed, happy, and joyful, and be able to improve together.

There are so many ways to improve yourself! But, as we all know, relationships have their ups and downs. Some couples may face some challenges, some speculation, or even some Chinese people. And, of course, some couples may encounter some arguments or stressful conversations.

This will help you both to understand your emotions better. You can think about whether you feel anxious, depressed or stressed, or happy every day. It's also a good idea to think about your girlfriend and how she feels and what she's like when she's happy or stressed.

Is she stressed every day, or does she feel happy every day? If we're feeling good inside, it's easier for everything to move along nicely through our digestive system. That means it's less likely to be constipated or have flatulence.

From a psychoanalytical perspective, it's possible that the body's response is linked to our psychological needs during the anal stage of childhood. If we didn't receive good treatment or establish a good parent-child relationship with our parents during our childhood, it's understandable that we might have problems in our adult relationships.

It's also possible that you and your girlfriend could both benefit from some spiritual nourishment in your relationship. This could help to resolve some of the digestive issues you're both experiencing, including constipation, flatulence, belching and farting. To make an informed decision, it's important to consider a range of factors, including your diet, patterns of interaction with each other, emotional state of mind, and the way your parents communicated with each other when you were children. I highly recommend psychological counseling to explore your own background in detail. Best of luck!
