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'm retired now so rarely get this, but I used to suffer quite often with it.

    I found that coffee, mashed potato, onions, spicy foods and raw fruit or veg made things worse. Cutting back on starchy carbs and eating more cheese and eggs helped. I also took CBD capsules if I was very anxious.

    This is not medical advice - I would advise speaking to a doctor or pharmacist.
