Stomach issues

Littlemissanxious

Hello, 

I have always suffered with stomach issues when my anxiety is high, however it feels for the last 12 months it's getting worse. I have read that digestive issues can be more common for those with autism/adhd, so just wanted to ask if anyone has the same? And if so have you found anything that helps?

I am getting tired of constantly having to stock up on immodium tablets and spending days feeling awful. It only happens when im worrying about something for instance I am back at work next week after being off over summer and my anxiety is awful, so today I am now stuck in bed with stomach pains and rushing back and too to the bathroom. Its really impacting my day to day life and making me feel awful.

Any tips, advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone

    I have 1 coffee a day but lots of cups of normal tea. I work from home, so its my short break routine to get away from the screens, so tend to have 8 or more cups in a day

    Actually on holiday I dropped to 1 coffee a day and no tea, but mainly drank water (other than a small amount of alcohol each day).  First 3 morning there I got headaches  - this I think it was the drop in caffeine.  So was it lower anxiety due to break from home/work, reduction in caffeine or a combination why I seemed much better? One to think about

    May need to give green tea a go

    I don't drink coffee but I do love tea. I think green tea might be good to try especially when feeling a little rough.

    Thank you so much
