    Hello Karen7710,

    I too suffer from stomach ailments and if I let my anxiety run away, it creeps into my mind that there is something serious going on. I  suffer from general anxiety and I am realizing that when I am in that state, food is difficult to digest and can cause problems. Therefore,  when I'm in a state of anxiety I have to watch closely what I eat.

    It sounds too me that your anxiety is making seems worse than they really are. If your anxiety is not going away that quickly, it would be to your benefit to watch what you eat carefully untill you can find a way to get rid of it.  As I described earlier, it is more difficult to digest food in that state and problems like what you and I experience can come about more easily if you don't monitor carefully what you eat.
