Hello sir !
Dont worry , I can understand the trauma you’re feeling and this kind of symptoms are quite common especially if have experienced a traumatic event . Usually some time aftef experiencing the event body goes to flight or fight mode whenever you think about such event or whenver your brain feels youre about to relieve the same situation. your digestive issues are because of gut brain axis i.e, link between brain and gut , because of which you feel anxious in gut.
Next Steps
This situation does not improve on its own . If lets untreated it will cause more serious mental health problems
