When I anxious I always feel like I need to poop...

[SAGuy81]

Hey all , so my anxiety is always in my gut . That is were I feel it the most . The problem is that I have Internal Hemorrhoid (which I am sure has been caused by my anxiety- since I was little I always complained I had a sore tummy ) that can Flair up and be super sore , when I go ( that could be 3-4 times a day ! ) every time I go the pain is so sore and triggers my anxiety and then “poop feeling “ comes back . It’s like a vicious cycle. ! Anyone else have this problem ? And if so what can I do ?

You have a vagus nerve that goes from your brain to your gut. Something like Miralax is good because it draws water into your intestines. No strain. Drink fruit juice. As for the hemorrhoids be sure you’re putting your feet on a stool so your knees are up a little when you go; a few inches off the seat.
