Yes it absolutely can.

Adrenalin rushes and cortisol keep the body at high alert during chronic anxiety so you may well be left achey and tired. Hot baths are good and keep hydrated x

Yes, the prime organ that anxiety most often affects is the stomach and that leads on to the bowel, anxiety can cause diahorea ( sorry, never could spell it) so the answer is a yes. But if it persists or you have pains then for reassurance see your doctor.

Not only that - it can certainly cause "the runs"! I have to literally run every morning to make it to the bathroom. Anxiety can cause a lot of other symptoms as well, and I agree with the comment about feeling achy and tired.
