Oooh, science time! Take a peek at this web page Neuroscience for kids and this one That little voice in your stomach.

Basically your body in general and your gut in particular has a "fight or flight" mode and a "rest and digest" mode. Anxiety means you are in the former...note that you're not digesting there!

Heather has a fair amount of info about the brain-gut connection here on her website and in the IBS Research Library on these discussion boards. One of the coolest things I've learned recently here is that nearly all of your serotonin is generated in your gut - no wonder your mood and your belly are so closely connected!
