Anxiety has always affected my stomach, I have never been diagnosed diabetic, but if I don't eat regular meals I feel bad. My stomach gets this gnawing pain, I know when I feel that, that I better eat something fast or it spikes anxiety symptoms.

All the time it causes extreme gastric issues sometimes

Yes i believe they can go hand in hand.. for some people

With me though the digestive stomach problems came first .. followed by anxiety.

And if i dont eat enough i can feel shaky too.

But now the anxiety has lessened since the stomach issues have been sorted , i eat smaller meals with snacks in between because i am very active all day at work , i tend to burn more than i eat so had to add the snacks to feel ok all day

x Hope it settles down soon for you

Having Gastroparesis (me) has taught me one great lesson in eating disorders. You (everyone) absolutely should eat 6 mini meals everyday. It's helps our bodies burn the fat it has in stores throughout the body and another must is drinking plenty of ReVerse Osmosis Water with Added Minerals (you add those yourself), so you are actually drinking "Live Water" instead of filtered dead water.
Since I started drinking live, clear water my stats have made my doctor's jelious *BEAMS* I so proud of me! LOL I seriously works.
Blessings!

Deborah my Dad had bad acid and ulcers, the doctor told him to eat something or his stomach would eat
him, so what you say makes sense, Peace

Yes, I'm with Gilly. You need to make sure you eat enough. I know when I'm anxious sick because I'm scared to eat...not common for an Italian girl, lol

But yes, when I first got anxiety they thought it was an ulcer, I was living on heartburn meds. this is totally normal to have your stomach affected...it's a signal that something is wrong but not necesarily an ulcer or something digestively.

I think my stomach can definitely trigger anxiety, perhaps due to too much acid? My doctor recommended Nexium for occasional use when my stomach is turned upside down and it seems to really stop anxiety. I've read the vagus nerve that runs through your gut can be overstimulated and cause anxiety feelings (and dizziness / faintness).

I always have stomach issues with my anxiety.
