Morning,

Anxiety/panic really messes with your stomach as when the adrenalin surges the blood flows to the vital organs and away from your stomach.

This causes real pain/cramps in the stomach and also the need to go to the toilet quickly. It is a normal response.

Hope this helps

Take cate

Anxiety can have all kinds of effects on digestion and the like, and there is high prevalence of IBS and similar ailments among people with anxiety. Good things that can help are warming and relaxing teas, mint, chamomile, ginger. Eating smaller meals more frequently, if you can manage it can sometimes help too.

Hope I helped! ^.^

Oh yes it can affect abdominal stuff. When I get anxious I need to go toilet urgently! And this can happen too many times. But if I'm not anxious it's totally different. It's crazy. Never know what to expect.

Remember having butterflies in the tum when you had exams! Well thats a symptom of anxiety / nerves. Sometimes the need to go to the loo is very strong and frequent.
