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?

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.
