Digestive Disorders & Poor Nutrient Absorption

Stress may give you "butterflies in the stomach", but it does more than that. It can affect the nerves of the digestive system, slowing down the release of stomach acid required for proper digestion. This is why some people may suffer bloating, indigestion, gas and pain, when they are stressed.

Although stress does not give you ulcer, it can definitely aggravate them. The hormones released during stress can also cause the colon to work faster (leading to loose and watery stools, or diarrhoea), or slower (causing constipation).
