Anxiety and GI: symptoms are often related. Please see your doc to rule out medical conditions. Anx and GI can be a cycle, like chicken and egg. You may also have a food sensitivity. Great Plains Laboratory has a good food sensitivity lab test. A gastroenterologist is the type of doc to see for GI issues and consulting w/a mental health professional can help. Please don't rely on medication alone. Peace.
