Anxiety ; GI system: Your GI (gastro-intestinal) system is richly endowed with nerves that respond to all kinds of stimuli and which also send messages to your brain. With this kind of feedback loop, your GI system can certainly be affected by anxiety. Intolerance to certain foods, intestinal motility problems, and acute problems like appendicitis can also result in naval pain.
