[quote=Anonymous]My teen has some anxiety and also stomach issues. Our case might be different, but I think it's like this: She is very sensitive and any indigestion is immediately very focused on, and when you place heightened attention to pain, it's kind of amplified. My recommendation is to see if placebo works: Try giving Tums or something even more placebo-ish, but with a lot of assurances that it will work, and kind of try to get him to relax and not be so vigilant about his symptoms. It may also help to make some changes to his diet, to make sure nothing is really causing the indigestion. Also, can you be sure that there are no issues with allergies or dairy? My teen recently developed a lot of allergies, and I'm wondering if that's connected. [/quote]
