@citrusangel9488
this condition is a nightmare. i was born with severe ibs ( constipation + diarrhea ) AND lactose intolerance. everyone tells me to just avoid specific foods, but the thing is EVERYTHING i eat causes diarrhea and pain. if i drink or eat a little fast.. boom instant diarrhea. it’s horrible and it has been this way my entire life. i can’t go to a restaurant in peace, i can’t be in the car for a while in peace. it’s even worst if i know there are no restrooms nearby.. i’m only 17 and it’s ruining my life. i just want to be able to eat and drink like everyone else without the worry of having to use the restroom and anger people around me when i have to get up to do so. my family gets upset when i have to go to a public restroom, so it adds more anxiety. i’m so tired of it. the thing is, it’s not always caused by stress either. sometimes i’ll be eating at home in peace, then 5 seconds later i have to run to the restroom.

I agree when he said IBS makes you feel like you have a serve illness shit makes you fell like you have stage 4 cancer at times when you in so much pain. You literally feel like you about to pass out from the pain when you hungry until you eat or the pain is relieved after you take a shit
@robo9466
I know everyone is different but here’s what helped me the most - Managing my anxiety Avoiding sugary drinks Eating healthy food (mainly protein) I find that if I eat mainly meat and unprocessed food then it’s not as bad
@melodyprahinog4296
When you can't argue to someone and made them believe it hurts, physically and mentally stressing you out. I thought it was just constipation and the food intakes but man it's also about the environment effect. Stress and anxiety plays a major role on triggering this one. Now, whenever I recall something terrible or might overthink about school activities, I end up holding and squeezing my stomach in the bathroom. I just prayed when I think I was about to faint.
@cristianezenwa2903
I think anxiety plays a major role in developing this condition
@sparkely1122
I lost my mom then my baby 1 month apart. Then our house flooded, moved into a new condo where the landlord keep trying to "get" with my husband.. moved out. Kept getting one abusive job after the other, literally quit a job every 6 weeks. Once life settled down a bit I got addicted to eating sugar. Booooooooom then and now I have DEBILITATING constipation. Hospitalized type constipation. I know can only eat 5 things and I'm in pain ALL OF THE TIME. I am on a high dose of magnesium so that's at least helping with going to the bathroom. But I do think my past, all the stress caused this. And now I have severe anxiety over this and the pain. Lol Im desperately trying to meditate and stop being so angry and stressed out. Bless anyone who has this awful issue xo
@theimperialwatch
My IBS-M is physically and mentally killing me. I skip work once a week because I'm stuck in pain in the bathroom. Sad part is nobody cares so family tell me I'm being a coward or they say other mean things. Stress, depression, and my PTSD is making it worse. I'm 27 and still receive abuse since my childhood. I tend to try ignoring people but it's stressing my stomach severely. The pain I get is so painful I sometimes pass out.

When I was a kid, I was having enormous stress due to some personal problem, at that time I used to recognise that whenever I was not relaxed and eating food at that time, I was having stomach pain. I told these things to my family and friends as a suggestion but they said they never have it. Now I understand why only I was suffering (enormous stress) and now later in life when I just completed my graduation in covid time I got severe breathing issues, after so many checkup all doctors told me that their is nothing wrong physically. So al these things are stress related. Than I thought that I will fix this or that in my life than I will feel less stress but that never happened, now simply running in the morning has resolved all those issues for me as it increase my immunity, reduced depression, improve digestion. Thanks bhole nath (hindu god), and may he help u guys as well ☺️☺️🌈🌈🎈🎈🎈

I’ve literally been searching the internet for days now trying to figure out WTH is going on with me. Been battling this for about 2 years now. It first started out as lactose intolerance but along the line things got worse and I’m pretty convinced an extended period of stress, anxiety and trauma triggered this. I don’t have anyone I can talk to about it, so it’s been pretty much me and my symptoms in the dark. I’ve learnt to avoid certain foods that trigger it( dairy products majorly, spicy food, alcohol and a few others). Also eating late and in large quantities could spell danger. It sucks to have to deal with this, it gets me really anxious and irritable, and when I get really stressed it does feel like depression. It’s pretty annoying to think that your gut could have you anxious and depressed. I basically deal with mine by avoiding lactose I think it’s the major trigger for me I can occasionally have spicy food in little portions but that’s about it. As far as the anxiety and depression is concerned it comes in waves and I think the best way I handle is by ignoring(counter intuitive 😅). Focus on the positive things you’ve got going on if you don’t have anything positive create one no matter how little( buy a console, take a walk, buy a shirt, maybe get a pet etc) I hope this helps
@yuppermnh
I'm lactose and gluten intolerant. If I have any of these foods it flares up. Sometimes the pain is so bad it knocks me out for hours. My colleague developed this after loosing a loved one so certain stress can definitely be a factor.
@winnifoster8557
Depression has the key role in ibs pain. I have been suffering from this pain and it evn hurts on pressing lower abdomen. It flares up wen i am in stress.
@allthethingswithjuliet3037
Depression and PTSD totally could have done it to me bc I never had IBS and after my first ever panic attack this happened and got worse !
@miltonthegreat6520
The endocannabinoid system is involved as well, which explains why medical cannabis helps with IBS in early studies. The idea is that if we are born with deficiencies in inflammation control and few endocannabinoid receptors, then the body needs more to come from plant based sources like cannabis. The digestive system itself is full of pain relieving, anti inflammation receptors that match with cannabis.
@davidingvartsen
I'm pretty sure physical exercise has a positive effect as well, as it does to almost everything pathological.
@guyunknown9123
I got this after COVID infection this year. Probably IBS, pain, diarrhoea and constipation mixed, right after/during eating the food. Fatigue, weakness, weight loss
@drdanger74
I relate to everyone as I'm going through this myself, I have started on probiotic capsules recently & feel that I'm getting better, will give an update soon. I hope this info helps, wishing good health to everyone!!
