First consult with gastro and if all reports are normal or you have no relief with medicine than consult psychiatrist or psychologist for psychological assessment and treatment.

Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure it is tough for you. Farting is bodies way to release gases which are released after the digestion of the food. Farting also happens when there is undigested food that remains in the system and is not eliminated by the gut. The food we eat is digested by enzymes produced by the stomach and the intestines. Due to anxiety and other emotional issues the nervous system is continuously activated and is in fight or flight mode, because of which digestive system slows down as nervous system is over doing its capacity to combat the threat you are feeling. In order to heal yourself biologically, it’s best to sit with your therapist and heal the emotional issues which you are dealing with in therapy. When stored emotions are released in therapy then you will feel calmer and digestive system will slowly move into a place homeostasis and the food will be digested easily. You’re brave! Stay

I can help you work on your emotions to help you heal your digestive system. Love and healing ❤️‍

Anxiety and GI issues are interlinked. It seems to be more of a psychosomatic concern. It can be well treated with homeopathic medicine effectively. If required, you can also opt for counseling sessions.

The most effective solution for dealing with anxiety for me personally was waking up early. Iam not a morning person but once i tried this, i was surprised how good this made me feel. It helped me find peace and calm myself down. Having so much time in my hand I could do small things that made me happy and I felt a sense of accomplishment just by waking up early. I feel the most anxious during the night- so sleeping early really helped me tackle it to a great extent. Meditation was another thing I tried when my anxiety was at its peak. Trust me- for someone who thinks a lot, it is no joke to shut your mind down and focus on your breathing. I could concentrate for very few minutes in the beginning but my thoughts kept spiraling back. So listening to some meditation music while i meditate helped me increase concentration. It helped me analyse my recurring thoughts and gave me more clarity about them. Mostly during such times I don’t feel like interacting with anyone- thinking that nobody will really understand how i feel. It’s great if you can talk it out and rant everything going on in your mind to someone who cares to listen. Taking it all out really helps. If you’re someone who is not comfortable with addressing this with anyone, then you can try writing down all that is going on in your mind. Once you take it all out in any manner, you will feel relieved. If you feel like you are stuck between your thoughts and feel very helpless, just do SOMETHING. Take a walk, call up your friends and talk about something random, play with your pet - just do something to break that cycle that is going on in your head. Do anything that will distract you even for sometime. Take action without overthinking anything. Just go for it. Being positive and thinking right is almost impossible during such times. One of the main reasons i avoid talking to people during this time is because they may feel bad/ give some positive shit which is not what I want. You know yourself the best- try starting small and appreciating small wins. Having a motivational self-talk session/ looking in the mirror and giving yourself some positivity might help. Appreciate yourself for how far you have come and remind yourself about your strengths. Try to get a balance of the basic things that need to be right- Sleep, food, health and water level. Once you get these things in check it will show better results over time. Having any kind of physical activity or a workout routine will help you fight anxiety. Doing this releases endorphins which trigger a positive feeling in the body. It will also help you reduce stress, improve sleep and help in fighting with anxiety and depression. If all the above things do not help and you are still stuck with being anxious, then there is just one way out. Confrontation. Ask yourself what is troubling you and analyse your thoughts. Address it and not run away from it. You have to feel the anxiety, be curious about it and seek answers and find out what is really going on. There will always be an underlying message or something you’re trying to run away from and are too weak to confront that. No matter how much you run away from it, sooner or later you will have to face it. This is a long process and you need to be strong and have patience to tackle it. Lastly, know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This feeling is just temporary. Think of it as your body’s way to communicate something with you. We feel this only when we have lost perspective and when we are lacking inspiration. We have to just find ways to get out of the drama going on in our heads and gain perspective. Anxiety is something most of us go through at different levels. We are just too weak to talk about it. It is a part of being human- you are not alone.

A general physician or gastroenterologist should be able to help you. If you feel still not relieved after their treatment you may fall back to the psychologist for assessment and therapy if required. Anxiety has significant effects on the gastrointestinal system.

Once gas builds up in a person’s body, it needs to be released. This means finding a place where this can be done comfortably through belching or flatulating. Once the gas is out, the symptoms of that gas (and the anxiety experienced as a result of that gas) should decrease. Individuals whose gas is caused by digestion issues may benefit from eating healthier meals with fewer gas causing ingredients. Dairy, for example, often contributes to gas. Talking to your doctor about food intolerances and anti-gas medications is also an option. Additionally, it could be helpful to rule out gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or acid reflux, which can cause gas and other symptoms of anxiety.

Hi Anxiety can cause digestive issues. This is due to the strong connection between the brain and the gut. Consult a doctor first and get it checked. If medical tests are normal then the reason for having digestive issues could be due to anxiety. To feel better consult a doctor first and then consult a psychologist. A psychologist will help you with anxiety management techniques to feel calm. Try to keep your mind calm and relax. Do take care of yourself.

Hi... Our gut and brain is thoroughly connected. So yes gastric/digestive issues may be an outcome of anxiety but it may very much be an outcome of unhealthy diet, sleep, exercise routine. Please consult a General Physician (doctor) first to rule out a completely physiological cause. If s/he concludes that everything is fine physiologically then we can attribute it to psychological factors (anxiety, etc.). If it is caused by anxiety, it will get better with Counselling.
Next Steps
Consult a Doctor (general physician) first and a Psychologist later. CBT along with Lifestyle Changes and Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling is required.
