Morning diarrhea :(

[Guest]

Does anyone else get this? Every morning I wake up really nervous/anxious and it turns my stomach really bad. disgusting I know, sorry . But im interested to know those that have the same issue, how do you handle it??

My ex-husband used to suffer like that, but he also has crohns disease so I don't know if that is the same situation. It might have been the anxiety or the crohns. What do you do to ease those symptoms, if I may ask?

I do get that way when I am experiencing anxiety. I will go a number of times in a short period of time. I get stomach cramping really bad. It is terrible. I am not sure how to deal with it. I have just come to accept that it is the way that I am.

Well it is not the most comfortable thing to discuss, but my stomach and bowel issues always seem to be pretty chaotic if I am in a particularly stressful time in my life, or also considering the reactions of medications and products that I consume. I drink a lot of coffee as a result of my anxiety, and that seems to irritate the system sometimes, and the morning can be a time when it does the most damage. Nothing too bad so far, so fingers crossed on that one.

I haven't experiencing exactly diarrhea, but I've experienced extreme nausea in the mornings before working/going to school. I don't experience it that much anymore, but I notice that the feeling flares up before I have to go to a social event or if I'm just feeling stressed overall. I think it's just one of the ways the body reacts to certain negative stimuli that end up in you getting diarrhea/nausea. It's pretty annoying, but I'm able to get over it most of the time and go on with my day. Diarrhea must be really annoying though, sorry that you have to deal with it so often. Maybe try staying more calm overall and seeing if that helps your situation?

Nervousness also quite mess up my stomach, but not so bad to induce me a diarrhea. It, in the other hand, make me lose appetite and leave an oxide taste in my mouth. Now that I remember, I actually felt diarrhea like urges after going through a pretty nasty anxious situation. I could contain myself good enough, but not for too long.

I do experience that sometimes when I am overly stressed, nervous, or excited. I would just wake up to a very active stomach and I would just go straight to the loo just to relieve myself. It's not a frequent symptom though. I remember one time when I was finally accepted in a job and it was my first day of work. I woke up feeling nervous and excited and my stomach just couldn't help but feel the moment too. I think I had to go about 3 times that morning before I went out for work. Good thing there were no more bouts when I was already at work because I took in a large dose of anti-motility medicine.

It's funny or ironic to think that my husband and I have an opposite morning problem. It usually occurs when there is something bugging us. My husband would have the morning diarrhea just once although sometimes it strikes twice in the morning and when the problem is really serious, the diarrhea lingers until afternoon. But it is not the ordinary diarrhea for it has a frequency of its own unlike a real diarrhea when the attack is continuous. For me, it is constipation. I get constipation when I am stressed that sometimes it takes 3 days before I can make a good release in the toilet. I have been advised by the doctor not to force my rectum when I have constipation for it can have complications like a stroke or even heart attack. The prescription was to eat papaya or young coconut to control my constipation.

I don't know if it's really my anxiety that causes me to have diarrhea or the fact that my diet shifts so drastically to caffeinated liquids and really light fast food, like salads and snacks. But I get that way but it's not just in the mornings, it could be a whole week were I'm that way. It can be so bad that it'll wake me up in the middle of the night with the sudden need to run to the bathroom.

Well, when I'm nervous I sometimes do feel the need to go to the bathroom, but it's all false alarm though. I think you might be having IBS? (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). If yes then there's a tablet for that.

One way to deal with morning anxiety is by identifying the cause. The common cause for feeling anxious when you get up is the knowledge that your day might be stressful. So if you have one of them stressful jobs, you'll naturally probably feel anxious in the morning. What could help is changing your morning routine. You could get up earlier and go for a walk. Some exercise in the morning could lift your spirits. And also work on dealing with what stresses you during the day.

I hardly ever have those symptoms, but I have a friend who suffers from a runny tummy every time she is stressed. She tells me that sometimes it's so bad that she spends most of the morning in the toilet at work trying to calm her bowels. She does also suspect that it might be IBS, although she hasn't had it diagnosed yet.

Yikes, I had that really bad for the longest time last year. It was really frustrating because it added a long time to my morning routine before going to work, so I was losing sleep or getting to work late and it only made the problem worse. I tried eliminating all different kinds of foods and nothing seemed to help. It is slowly getting better but I still have problems with it sometimes when I am really stressed out. My only way to deal with it was to eat really bland foods, lots of baked potatoes and rice, and take an immodium now and then when the symptoms got really bad.


Probably the most frustrating anxiety symptom I experience.

Even I face the same situation, I have a little diarrhea and Nausea

You need to get it to understand how embarrasing and scary it is
