Nervous stomach: The digestive system is controlled by the same nervous system that controls the bladder, sweat glands, and most other organs. Anxiety leads this system to signal the GI tract, creating your symptoms. There is also the GI tract's own enteric nervous system, further causing stomach symptoms when anxious. Pain itself causes anxiety, so this is the viscious circle you're asking about.
