Can anxiety make you pass more wind?

[Sam100322]

Just wondered if anxiety can make you fart more?

Ow yes it can (I hate that). Fight or flight response makes your body evacuate more (poo and wee), I believe to make you lighter for the given situation. That was just a complicated 'yes' really :P

Thank you for the reply! I just seem sometimes to just pass wind you know normal once In a while to literally every 5minutes very embarrassing

Yeah I think so. I notice when I'm highly anxious I'll go to the toilet more often. I remember a few years ago when I had some job interviews, the mornings before the interviews I noticed I was passing wind maybe because I was anxious. I didn't fart in any of the interviews thank god lol

Having Coeliac disease or being gluten intolerant will make you pass a lot of wind.
