Can anxiety cause chronic gastrointestinal problems?I have a history of generalized anxiety. I'm a worry wart and probably a hypochondriac too. Is is possible that my gastrointestinal issues are a manifestation of anxiety?

Yes. Stress is often manifested in the gastrointestinal tract.

Yes, severe stress alters the acid concentration in the stomach. And can cause gastritis as well as ulcers and stomach bleeding. It can wreak havoc on the immune system.
