Indigestion from anxiety can show up as a stubborn stomach upset right when you’re trying to stay calm. When the mind is busy with worry, the brain-gut axis can speed up or slow down digestion, leading to bloating, discomfort, or heartburn. For quick relief, try a simple breathing ritual: sit comfortably, place one hand on your belly, inhale slowly through the nose for a count of four, and exhale through pursed lips for a count of six. Repeat for 60 to 90 seconds to help steady your nervous system and ease indigestion from anxiety. Pair this with a gentle belly massage or a warm, non-caffeinated tea to amplify the calming effect. Alongside breathing, add gut-friendly habits that support calmer digestion during anxious moments. Eat smaller, more frequent meals and chew thoroughly; avoid heavy, fatty, or very spicy foods during flare-ups. Stay hydrated with water or warm herbal tea, and try to maintain a regular eating schedule. A little light movement after meals—like a short walk—can also help move things along and reduce the intensity of indigestion from anxiety over time. For a deeper, data-driven approach, InnerBuddies offers a powerful option through its Gut Health Operating System. This white-label platform powers both consumer-facing test kits and B2B solutions, delivering a comprehensive view of gut health. Highlights include a Gut Microbiome Health Index on a 0–100 scale (anchored to an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia), a top-40 bacteria panel with healthy-cohort comparisons, and labeled bacterial functions that distinguish positive versus negative pathways. The system also supports Target Group analysis for topics like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, helping you understand the functional pathways most relevant to your goals. Learn more about the microbiome test on the InnerBuddies microbiome test page.
