Yes, it can.  It happens to me  = (  Have you ever heard the term "embodied memory"?  That's when the body "remembers" things that happened in the past - they become part of of our bodies.  I must sound like a real loony here.

You aren't alone with you stomach "issues".

Hi my name is Colette and I can answer your question.  The answer is yes you can
have those symptoms if you allow take hold of you, will you forgive me if I say that it can be mind over matter, I say that because I have experienced it over the years from time to time.  Our body is controlled by our thoughts and we can trigger these
symptoms.  So please no need to worry just whenever you have a "Symptom" think about it and immediately relax and take control, relaxation is your best friend.  I will give you a laugh.  I love shopping what woman doesn't like shopping, before I was ever aware of what was happening to me I used to enter certain favourite department stores and immediately I would have the urge to do a "number 2" I hope you know what I am talking about so I would have to go off and find a ladies toilet. and then I would be just fine.  My daughter is also like that, if we are ever constipated we just go shopping ! never a need to take med.'s. See how our mind can talk to our body.  No need to worry relaxation and awareness is the answer.
Good Luck Colette
