So, when you feel stressed, your gut also reacts, which can result in loose motion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Signs_of_Anxiety_Diarrhea\"><\/span><b>What are the Signs of Anxiety Diarrhea?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If anxiety is the reason behind your diarrhoea, you may also notice one or more of the following symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cramps_in_stomach\"><\/span><b>Cramps in stomach<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are stressed, your body releases certain hormones that make the lower part of your digestive system more active which increases the movement in your colon.
