Q: under stress because of pending hip replacement (have anxiety disorder esp around medical procedures). i have been having rumbling in intestines, stom?

GI &amp; anxiety: Hip replacements have come a long way and people are generally very happy to have it done. Having said that, I respect your anxiety and encourage you to tell your doctors about it. Please take a look at www.relaxationresponse.org for a mind-body way to manage anxiety. Please mention your GI rumbling to your doc which may be related to anxiety. Peace and good health.
