English term or phrase: "your stomach or intestine is becoming tied in knots"
Hi everyone,

I would like some help with an idiomatic translation. The audience is Latin America.

The complete sentence is "There are times when you’re nervous and you notice that your stomach or intestine is becoming tied in knots or feeling uneasy."

I´d appreciate any help.
