@wittsend Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It seems that anxiety, stress, and gastric issues go together, doesn't it? Have your doctors been able to point out any resolutions to you?

For me, when going through high levels of anxiety, I tend to eat foods that are not really healthy for me, kind of like emotional eating. My digestive track reacts to all this. Sometimes a tummy ache, a feeling of discomfort, or indigestion. sometimes diarrhea. It has taken me a lot of thinking it through and figuring this out. So, even though there are still times I will go the emotional eating route, making an effort to remember that it might not be the best solution, I might cut way back on that food, or substitute it with a healthier activity. Crafting, or journaling, keeping my hands bust to not reach for food.
