Anxiety definitely affects your digestive system. There's a direct nerve connection. I've just finished a year of tests and medication for my reflux and stomach discomfort. I've always had problems and from what I can remember, they started when I was being bullied at work in my early 20s. I've had a number of endoscopies over the years. Two this year. Obviously some foods can trigger it, acidic ones, alcohol, caffeine and definitely dont take any ibuprofen products, but also a hiatus hernia will contribute. The trick is to work on things to suppress the acid, you don't want it refluxing persistently. Omeprazole or similar don't work in the short term. It's usually up to 8 weeks. The medication will reduce acid production.
