Dissociation And Constipation Linked?

[Dilgof]

Does anyone else find that they can become constipated when dissociative? My therapist told me what when the parasympathetic nervous system revs up and causes dissociation, it can also make other things, like the GI track, slow down... I didn't believe her until I got stuck in a dissociative state for a few days and then realized every time I have had needed to use magnesium to um, loosen up things due to constipation, I have also been dissociative. Anyone else notice this link?

My digestion is definitely tied into my PTSD. I hadn't thought of it as being a dissociative problem, but perhaps.
