Can Anxiety Cause Pain In Stomach?

Hi my name is Nikki i am 41. Why do i suffer with stomach aches when I feel anxious. Whenever I am anxious straight away I get a stomach ache which leads to a bm. This of cause increases my anxiety as it is a vicious circle when I am out of "what if I need to go to the bathroom (stomach starts to hurt, then I do need to go to bathroom) which then increases my anxiety, which then increases my stomach ache..........and so the cirlcle goes. I find this to happen when I am in a waiting situation , or a closed in situation , or driving far from home situation. Even "enjoyable" situations I start to feel anxious about, going out to eat, going to a movie. Is there a quick fix when I start to feel like I need to find a bathroom "right now".
