Stress And Anxiety

Does anyone else have flare ups when stressed or anxious? I seem to fluctuate between being constipated (haven't been in 2 days) and going up to about 4 times a day

That is my major time that I know I’m gonna get a flareup. Other times I don’t know but stress definitely makes it bad

Yes, anytime that I have something very stressful happened to me I’m basically down for the next day with pain and bloating and just that overall not feeling well. I wish there was a cure for this damn condition
