Signal or story?
Choose the most accurate interpretation of each fictional statement.
- A person notices that a difficult week and gut symptoms occurred together.
- This proves stress caused the symptoms — Timing together does not prove a single cause.
- The connection is worth discussing, without treating it as proof — This keeps the observation useful and the conclusion appropriately limited.
- Someone says that mentioning the gut–brain connection means symptoms are imagined.
- Agree — Gut–brain signalling is biological and symptoms are real.
- The connection is real and symptoms are real — Bidirectional signalling does not make symptoms imaginary.
