A few months ago I had alot of stress and then my upper abdomen became inflammed and bloated all the time when I eat most foods. Probably the stress caused my stomach issues.The doctor tested my cortisol which showed high, of course. So she gave me Seriphos to help lower my cortisol levels. I'm also seeing a GI doctor for my stomach inflammation. I want to continue to take the Seriphos to lower my cortisol and help with my stress, but Cortisol helps lower inflammation. So should I not take Seriphos?
