CCCross 31 Posted November 23, 2012 I wasn't sure to where to post this but has anyone else experienced difficulty eating when stressed? I used to be a stress eater and now my stomach feels upset and crampy when there's tension or strife. I've already spoken to my surgeon and he and I agree this is the cause since swallow test last week was normal and it only happens when my ex fiance(broke up 2 days ago) is around or I have to deal/think about him. Does anyone else notice this problem? If so, does it last forever or did it seem to lessen up the further out from surgery? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carol Watts 67 Posted November 23, 2012 yes and my stomach hurt like hell. It was in a knot until the stress passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamaplumlee 58 Posted January 14, 2014 I am having the same issue, glad I found this post. Haven't eaten in days because my stomach hurts so bad from what appears to be from the stress. I have been crazy stressed and very upset crying, that's when my stomach went nuts. It feels swollen, pulses, bloated, and very crampy. I am managing fluids but it's uncomfortable like I ate too much or something. I am not hungry in the least and so nauseous. I see my surgeon Wednesday so I'm gonna see what I can do because my stress isn't gonna ease up for a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
