I posted about GI issues that basically are 95% gone now. My stomach cramps, loose stools, stomach tightness, nausea and bloating is all gone. My abdomen feels more free? Or like relieved? Maybe im still healing still?? However i get the sensation of gas in my sternum thatll ache. comes and goes. My stools are becoming normal as time goes on. But i fear eating certain foods that would trigger me. A doctor told me its 1-4 things from lactose, food poisoning, IBS-D or Celiac Disease. Out of the blue i get these faint aches around my ribs on both sides, lower abdomen, groin, thigh, upper back and middle back. And i had this strange issue with my boy bits out of the blue yesterday after doing “man business” that came about a sting/itch feeling with the irritating sensation that was burning a bit. Thats all dissipated but i felt the need to urinate a lot until i used the restroom to leave a BM. My brain is so stuck on cancer or some serious blockage that is causing all my issues. My labs from 2 different places say my urinalysis and my labs were phenomenal other than low potassium from the loose stool. Ive had been told there was 0 need for hospitalization or needing to put me in a tube scan for anything. My abdomen from top to bottom was palpitated with 0 pain i dont get pain nor do i feel anything bulging out giving me a concern. I get spasms near my bladder area. And rarely near my gut. My GERD has been soo good with only feeling acid build up when i wait to eat. My body feels hungrier around 1pm but i tend to lose the hunger feeling later in the day. BUT MY BRAIN SAYS OTHERWISE i feel the absolute worst and want to continue to feel better. I want to cry and i just need to be told im fine. Im so tired of all of this.

The GI Issues came about after losing my car temporarily and needing to come up with money. I had loads of ice cream then hours later the absolute worst bowel movements. Its been 3 almost 4 weeks and i feel like a weights been lifted off my gut. The cramping, the intense urgency to use the restroom and the heated or spasm feelings in my gut are good. My pains went from a 3.5/4 down to a 0.5 to nothing at all. I hear others stories and they sound a like and come from stress and anxiety but my mind starts to over catastrophize everything to worst case scenario.

My anxiety upsets my stomach too, I get nausea, bloating, really bad wind. When I do number 2 it’s like a soft serve ice cream, I get nasty pains and nausea after I go. I also suffer from constipation.
It’s really annoying knowing that your anxiety causes it. Plus I also eat WAY too much chocolate, I was about to book in for a gastroscopy but I decided to cut right back on the chocolate and I can notice the difference and feel a lot better. When I suffer stress and anxiety it doesn’t matter what I eat I get an upset gut.
Just try and calm down and bit and relax, I know it’s hard. When anxiety upsets your stomach it can take a few days to calm down. The more you panic the cycle continues. I usually wait out strange symptoms and if they are still constantly there in 2 weeks I go see the doc

I had my GI issues since a the first friday of August. Thankfully majority of my symptoms diminished and i dont get bowel cramps or those that i listed its mainly my BM’s are inconsistent, gas and belching. Last night i ate a lot of brussel sprouts and felt super gassy that it had me in the restroom. But other than that majority of symptoms gone! Im just concerned they still linger even after 2 doctors, one from urgent care and the other being in the hospital have sent me home to follow up with my practioner. And told me it sounds like IBS. That i had no reason to go through any scans or X-rays or hospitalizations. My labs were good. My anxiety says cancer or serious gut disease. :(

It seems your digestive has a problem with dairy. Dairy tends to cause digestive problems in high doses. Be more moderate.
