Yes,
it certainly can. In fact, stomach distress is a very
common symptom of anxiety (worry), fear, and stress.
Stomach
distress can present itself in a variety of ways, such
as nausea, bloating, tightness, diarrhea, IBS (Irritable
Bowel Syndrome), and muscle cramping, to name a few.
Eating
smaller more frequent meals and drinking plenty of water
can help to reduce these symptoms, but the best strategies
for long-term relief is to apply physiological strategies
to reduce hormone overstimulation (as listed in the members
area of our web site in Chapter Four) and addressing
the underlying factors associated with your anxiety.
Once
done, as with all anxiety related symptoms, the body
will have no need to send symptoms and therefore they
will diminish over time and eventually disappear.
