Have always had a sensitive stomach, that when it presents itself its very uncomfortable and puts my in an irritated state or worrisome state (fearsome) exactly like the flight or fight syndrome for anxiety, as if there's too much adrenaline in my body. W

As said above, when my stomach is noticeably sensitive. A little hard to explain. Sort of a irritating, stuck feeling with this gnawing anxious provoking irritation in my stomach lining. It always happens when I forget to not drink a cup of coffee in the morning and that little bit of acid or caffeine sets it off and keeps me real nervous and worrisome or irritable, as if a fight or flight syndrome was in effect with too much adrenalin on board in the body. Don't know why the body perceives a threat, but when a klonopin, or some whipping cream (liqiud) or thick creme is used the stomach feels coated and relaxed. The irritable stomach lining sounds like a little tummy ache, but I've retired from the 3rd hardest job in the world as a commercial Union Carpenter building High rises, and I can ignore pain to the extent some would find it unbearable just to keep my job with always double the people on the books as on the job, so one has to be fast and good to stay on any job. This irritable stomach lining is very menacing, to the point you want to get in an argument, but when neutralized your a totally different person. Sincerely Jerry Johnston

JerryJohn5 here again with some news that clears the picture a little more. The reason the stomach lining issue came to be, was an incident where a colon cleanser, a strong one was taken before church and a latte with soy was drank very soon afterwards resulting in a burning stabbing pain in the high stomach that when finally stopped gave the symptoms above in the first comment. After a couple of days of researching this very sensitive stomach lining a Dr. of Naturepathy asked me if I'd ever had an ulcer and I said yes way back 38 years ago and was hospitalized for 8 days with a duodenal ulcer. He, after asking many questions found I had been symptomatic of an ulcer, that through life, because of the thin lining of healing stomach tissue that constantly recovers that skin when being in an acid rich environment with stressful event always going on in life had this occurrence happen over and over with anxiety because of the body feeling a threat of internal bleeding every time that ulcer skin fell off and exposed the stomach lining like a scab. So when I then started, this week to drink Maalox and ginger tea and antacids to heal that area, I started feeling much better. I am starting to learn that with the stressors of everyday life this ulcers thin skin is constantly being eaten off by HCL, or stomach acid causing the body to go into fight or flight and dumping adrenalin making the person worry, which is what adrenalin is supposed to do, make one ready for a dangerous threat, here being possible internal bleeding. So my job is to always be on guard with my emotions and keep the stressors at bay so as to keep the acid flow down by no stressors as much as possible and acid forming foods.
