Bloating churning, tummy

[sunshine08]

My tummy keeps churning and blowing up all day it makes me feel panicky. does anybody suffer with these feelings of anxiety

Hi sunshine08, it is common for the anxious person to have this problem. It's due to swallowing air when we eat as well as just feeling anxiety. The churning is due to anxiety as well. Not to worry...

Yes 100% Especially after my first panic attack, I felt so bloated that it felt like it was up in my chest. And any time I feel that bloated it makes it so hard to sleep bc laying down doesn't feel very good. It sucks! But, I have found that certain foods make my bloating a thousand times worse. So, I don't feel like that as often as I used to which has helped with my anxiety as well.

Hope this helped. You are definitely not alone in those feelings. It is so uncomfortable and really unsettling. Hang in there!

HI thanks very much for your reply, that helps. What foods did you avoid?

[Lin-zles]

Ugh, I avoid ALOT unfortunately. I have realllly cut back on gluten and have cut out most all dairy. It has been challenging, but worth it. I feel so much better!! There are also some fruits and veggies that cause a lot of gassiness like garlic and onion that I try to avoid. Also, a challenge. Also, just everything in moderation.

Yes....but I have GERD which causes me to feel terrible at times.....I feel gassy and bloated and not to mention hurtburns as well....my anxiety makes it ten times worse....it really hurts because it feels like the inside of my body has tightened up so to the point I cant move my upper part of my body..I hate this feeling
