Any physical issue can have psychological effects, e.g., anxiety or depression. Also, there are many receptor sites in the gut for neurotransmitters the impact the brain. That's why some antidepressants have GI side effects. Please see your doc for the stomach issues. If not positive result, continue w/a licensed nutritionist. Food sensitivity lab testing can be helpful.
