I’ve also been told that trauma for the stomach can effect the emotional state, and I can personally attest to feeling distressed, then eating a good sized meal and feeling better afterwords; Also connecting with fast food and eating disorders.
But this could also be an old wives tale, and I’m suffering from a placebo effect.

I was under the impression (I don’t recall from where) that this was due to the effect of blood sugar levels on mood. No evidence for this other than that I become irritable when hungry, but it’s an alternative explanation.
The more interesting question is whether the strong emotions do indeed cause discomfort in the gut.
