Ever wondered if your stomach issues are actually just #anxiety?

So sometimes when we get stressed, we feel it, we get heartburn or reflux or gassy and bloated. For example, we have Back to School happening right now. We're recording this episode in September, right? So a lot of kids are going back to school and maybe they're not cognitively aware that they're nervous about it, but maybe they are getting a lot of tummy upset. So they're queasy, their appetite isn't good. Some kids even get so nervous and worked up that they throw up. But if we don't acknowledge that as a composite, then we may mistreating the root cause. And so then maybe the doctor will just be like, I'll give them a Tums, they'll be fine. But then they're still anxious and now they're producing less stomach acid. So there is value in creating a little bit more specificity in what the anxiety is presenting with. And the tools that we can pick will work better.
