Fun historical fact: Because scientists believed that symptoms of the body had much to do with the mind and spirit in the 17th century, patients showing these features were believed to be under demonic possession and, in later, centuries, were considered insane. They were relegated to asylums and were excluded from scientific study. They could not be dissected because it was believed that the soul was contained within the body.
2013 Survey: 74% of Americans are living with severe digestive disorders. Only 50% of them ever discuss it with their doctor.
