We have all experienced bloating or some other stomach problem when we’re stressed. It’s already clear that the stress has a profound effect on your gut system. Sometimes it is more clear to us when you feel one of the “negative” emotions like anxiety or depression. Anxiety is one of the most common mental disorders, and the one that seems to have the most effect on the digestive system.
Lots of people especially those working in corporate sector, work incredible long hours and are in a constant stress mode. For most people, the bulk of their waking hours is spent commuting, working, and thinking about work. The pressure to perform at a high level has crippled them to the point where anxiety has taken over ALL aspects of their life and it is impossible to stop it.In the case of anxiety, you can see a mutual relationship between stomach issues and anxiety in another way. For example, indigestion, bloating and gas can cause discomfort and pain, both of which can lead to anxiety, which then can lead to increased indigestion and poor nutrition.
