GABA Neurotransmitter for Anxiety and Addiction GABA is our main inhibitory (stabilizing) neurotransmitter and a regulator of anxiety and addiction. It helps us stay calm and avoid sympathetic flight or fight mode.  It governs dozens of functions in the mind and body.

The question can surprise them, especially if they’re seeing me for “allergies”. Explaining that pain (or constipation, gas, diarrhea) is not right and we want to fix it helps them understand WHY we’ll be changing their diet. For other kids, stomach aches become a negotiating factor when they want out of doing something. It can be a problem figuring out real tummy aches from imaginary ones. Either way, it’s important to address. More Information
