Churning stomach help?

About 2 years ago I started having a churning stomach 24/7. Like I was starving but I’m not actually hungry. It is so aggravating. After two months of it I had an endoscopy and he said everything was normal. It went away and now here I am again.

What could this be? Can anxiety cause this? Should I go back to the doctor or just assume it’s the same as my precious episode?

In her well known book 'Self help for your nerves' author Doctor Claire Weekes makes frequent reference to 'churning stomach' being a common symptom of anxiety.

As you have had intensive medical investigation that found nothing physically wrong it's now time to recognise this symptom is anxiety driven.

You cannot cure yourself of an illness you don't have no matter how hard you try. You should now address your anxiety and the cause of your anxiety in order to calm your churning stomach.

It sounds like what I suffer from with my anxiety. When it gets bad I can’t eat or drink.

I had something similar. I ended up losing a lot of weight from stomach issues. It felt like had a constant cramp and pit in my stomach. I got checked out and I was ok physically. It was anxiety.
