Can Anxiety Cause Vomiting And Diarrhea?
I ve been experiencing vomiting in the morning, sometimes it s bright orange, I cough a lot at first in the morning then I get sick. I m wondering if this is anxiety before work or some stomach issues. I ve been eating real bland, and have some bloating, diarrhea, fatigue...I ve been to the dr. And she recommended probiotics? And I stopped taking magnesium which I though would help... I don t have a gallbladder. I. Just not sure what it is. However this only happens during the work week and not on the weekends?

Hi,
Your doctor is correct in suggesting probiotics. It appears that you might be suffering from acidity or gastric issues. I would advise you to also take a course of antacid/proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole. Stress and anxiety increase the acid secretions in the stomach and could be the cause of your symptoms.
In addition, I would advise you to sign up for yoga and meditation classes, to help de-stress. Eat smaller frequent meals at regular intervals. Stay well hydrated. Avoid smoking, alcohol and excess intake of carbonated beverages.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
