Cause of anxiety?: Try to find out the cause of the anxiety and treat it. Taking medicine without knowing the underlying cause may not help to eliminate it. Get to the source of the problem and don't just put a bandaid over it. Seek professional help for the cause and treatment of your anxiety.

Somatization: Stresses on our psyche are dealt with in varying ways normally. One of these mechanisms is to convert the psychic trauma to physical symptom and suspect that is what you are experiencing. Go and see a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist and get this worked out. Finding and correcting the cause of the anxiety may alleviate the GI manifestations. Good luck.
