I'm very sceptical of "stress related" explanations. They're convenient in the sense they explain nothing.

Stomach ulcers were "stress related" until whoops: turns out it's H. Pylori infections, and can be cured easily with antibiotics.

I appreciate what you’re saying, but when the time-linear correlation between a stress event and a GI reaction is very direct and reliable (and often bidirectional) it’s hard not to recognize a connection.
