Can anxiety disorder influence bowel movements?
August 22nd, 2010
Bill G asked:
I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, ocd, and panic disorder. About that time my bowel movements began to change: Alternating constipation and diarrhea, softer, narrower stools, sometimes mucus. Can this be caused by anxiety? How does anxiety influence bowel movements. Can this by IBS? By the way, I am a 28 year old male. Can Anyone with anxiety problems give me examples of how anxiety, IBS has affected there bowel movements? Thanks
