Stool changes and discomfort
Posted , 3 users are following.
hey all,
need some advice, recently, mainly today, my stool habits are changing a lot, constipation, to normal to a little diaharea, not severe but a little, now, I have Health Anxiety and recently was diagnosed with GERD, however the colour of the stool was a little brown/grey/yellow ish colour, like a mixture....is it common with IBS to get such colours of stools? Terrified of Pancreatic issues like cancer, I had IBS diagnosed so I know I have that, so I am sure it is simply IBS and nothing more, I am only 29 years old and assuming pancreatic cancer would be very very unlikely...only 6 months ago had blood tests and LFT which showed my liver etc was fine and had endoscopy which showed nothing wrong with me only 5 months ago....but 5 weeks ago, GERD started up and since my health anxiety got the best of me....
My question is with your IBS/GERD, do you commonly change bowel shapes/colours etc???
Any advice would help
Thanks guys!

The only cure I have found for gastro issues is fasting, and at least this can work for people who have limited or even no access to specialist care.
Having visited what I think is a good enough number doctors for gut issues, I always experiment with fasting as a first test of possible cause/effect, followed by a few days of lighter meals.
Because modern, developed countries have such availability of food, the gut may not get the rest it needs, and the liver, pancreas, etc. may also become over-taxed by the steady influx of macronutrients.
I believe there are many mechanisms by which the empty gut recovers from the effects of the 21st-century food supply.
That all of the ancient schools of medicine discovered the value of fasting, independently, argues for the value of it imo.
