I've read many articles about diarrhea or constipation may be the cause of our stress level. any truth to that?

Yes: The brain is connected to the gut. One's emotional state or stress level can affect the way waste material moves through the gut. Some people have diarrhea when they are anxious. Other anxious people can become"uptight" or constipated.
