Aerophagia

Published on Digestive system.

This condition develops in the person who wants to control everything but is not able to. When the person eats, he/she swallows everything rapidly without distinguishing what is digestive work for the stomach (solid food) and what is respiratory work for the lungs (air). He/she does not chew the food properly and swallows everything in a hurry. He/she is not calm and focused.

This happens when there are material concerns. The person controls and does not let go, pays excessive attention to material things. The stomach swells up. Flatulence is a release of air from the bowel and causes relief. We are in the presence of one tension connected with the stomach and one tension connected with the ascending colon.

The person with stomach problems does not like confrontation. He/she needs “to be fed baby food”. This person is unable to deal with his/her anger and/or transform it into aggression, into some open manifestation. He/she carries his stress in his stomach. These repressed emotions that the stomach patient avoids dealing with, are caused by issues related to material things, professional matters, money concerns, and legal and educational questions. Stomach problems are very “down to earth”. They have much to do with the roots and essence of the person (work, home, Mother, place where he/she lives, and money).

Flatulence develops in the ascending colon (beginning of the large bowel). The person who has trouble in this area is someone who makes an effort to decide whether to hold or let go. Fermentation takes place in the ascending colon. This is caused by the presence of sugar. The tension of hesitating to hold or let go may cause flatulence and pain. It may be related to the relationship with the Father or with a male model. This man may be a partner, a supervisor, a boyfriend, or even a woman who exhibits masculine behaviour.
