Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Sometime, stress increases the bowel problem like gastritis. In that case, try to maintain your sleep and keep yourself relax. Underline bowel infection may be there, but due to stress, such gastric symptoms may continue and you could feel distress due to them. Just stay relax.

Thanks
