So I've suffered from severe anxiety for 5 years which has caused me a lot of stress and it's all taken a toll on my abdominal region. I get minor issues all the time like heartburn etc etc but for the past 2 weeks I've had a stomach ache pretty much all the time. I also continuously feel like I need to go to the toilet but I rarely go and also feel the need to release air all the time. I've never had it like this before. I've tried taking laxatives but they have made no difference. Does anyone know what this is or has an idea or just any support on what I should do?

Thanks.

    Possibly IBS.  However, see your doctor for tests and diagnosis.  I have constant stomach pain with constipation and occasional loose stools and nausea.  I have anxiety and heartburn.  Does the pain move about amd change in type or intensity?  To you get relief after a bowel movement?

      You could try over the counter silicogel which deals with the symptoms you are describing.
