Jennifer Lawrence is a Lounger.

She has health issues AND she's okay with fart jokes.

Jennifer Lawrence: I Didn’t Go To Hospital Just Because Of “Gas”

Jennifer Lawrence talked even more about her bowel problems on Thursday’s “Good Morning America.”

The Catching Fire star, who told David Letterman she was hospitalized after she “sh*t” her pants “many times,” revealed she may have an intestinal issue.

Lawrence said, “They’re saying it could either be in my lower intestine or all in my mind. I’m going to cross my fingers for it’s all in my mind and I’m just crazy.”

The actress went on to add, “Now it’s reported in the news that I went to the emergency room for gas, which is awesome.”

The Other Brain Also Deals With Many Woes

Two brains are better than one. At least that is the rationale for the close - sometimes too close - relationship between the human body's two brains, the one at the top of the spinal cord and the hidden but powerful brain in the gut known as the enteric nervous system.

For Dr. Michael D. Gershon, the author of "The Second Brain" and the chairman of the department of anatomy and cell biology at Columbia, the connection between the two can be unpleasantly clear. "Every time I call the National Institutes of Health to check on a grant proposal," Dr. Gershon said, "I become painfully aware of the influence the brain has on the gut."

In fact, anyone who has ever felt butterflies in the stomach before giving a speech, a gut feeling that flies in the face of fact or a bout of intestinal urgency the night before an examination has experienced the actions of the dual nervous systems.

The connection between the brains lies at the heart of many woes, physical and psychiatric. Ailments like anxiety, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers and Parkinson's disease manifest symptoms at the brain and the gut level.

But she has traveled around so much it could be anything. Giardia, helicobacter for example.

I asked her if it was because I like Jennifer Lawrence more than her.

She did not appreciate my joke.

She is the real deal unlike so many Hollywood phonies. That and the fact that she has real talent.
