IBS/ Anxiety

[gadamsgrega2]

Just wondering if any of you here get IBS? or diarrhea, upset stomach, loose stools from anxiety?

It’s a very common thing with anxiety, yes.

 

[FinneousRex]

Yup. Very frequently. Sometimes my anxiety causes worse IBS issues. Sometimes IBS issues cause my anxiety which then worsens the IBS issues. It’s a vicious cycle. I can get a big jolt of panic, then less than a second later I can feel stabbing pains in my intestines.

Anxiety can affect the body in So many ways.
I can relate to bathroom issues with anxiety and oab.

Mine has been 24/7 for almost four years. Its horrible. I can't describe the pain or the intestinal spasms. I even wonder if something else is going on. I'm scared to even pursue it more than I already had.

IBS is so very common I have also

No. Certain food do it to me. If you are having IBS try eliminating certain foods to see if that helps. I can't eat peanut butter. It's a bummer!

 

[Angelx]

Yes!!! I used to leave work because I thought I had the stomach flu!!

What other certain foods besides peanut butter do you have issues with? For me, deep fried foods, bellpeppers, hot peppers, ice cream, high sugary foods will cause next day IBS

 

[hamnida]

It might be allergy

 

[gadamsgrega2]

I had the allergy test done... all mine are just the typical allergies... from grass, ragweed, tree's ....

The only other thing that bothers my bowels is some types of bagels that give me huge hard stools that make my hemorrhoids bleed. In the past few years I have been able to eat bagels though. I have tried cashew butter and it d doesn't give me cramps. I have no idea why it doesn't and peanut butter does. I don't like it much though.
