Hi,
Yes, it can be due to anxiety and stress.
The GI upsets are related to stress, anxiety.
you need not to worry.
You relax and take light meals and also take probiotic in diet.
You also take plenty of fluids and identify food which likely increases it and substitute that.
If symptoms continue you may be required for medicines for a few weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
