TUMMYACHE

Scared woman

I get the tummy ache every day, and sometimes its so painful I can't do anything except lie down. I cant always go to the toilet either, even though I want to. The doctor who diagnosed me said a lot of Asperger Syndrome people get tummyache.

Has anyone got any ideas what I can do about it, as I am fed up of it. My GP said to drink more but I already do drink a lot of water.

I get very hungry as well, so its not affecting my appetite.

  • We tend to think of our brains being in our heads but other parts of the body seem to be in tune with what is happening in our heads.

    Your stomach responds to stress, partly because there are muscular structures there which get knotted up under stress, but also because stress alters chemical imbalances, and may release more acids into the stomach.

    Also there are medical issues relating tio autism which someone else may be better placed to comment upon.

    Unfortunately because your stomach starts responding, it adds to your stress worrying about your stomach. It may be useful to do some relaxation exercises.
