IBS constipation due to anxiety
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi guys, I've posted here before about how I'm prone to getting water infections and I think it's linked to my IBS, so.. whenever I'm subconsciously anxious about something, it might be because I'm visiting my dad or a change is going on in my life, I dont necessarily feel anxious, but I will gradually become very constipated which is a horrible feeling agd puts me more at risk of getting a water infection.
I've been prescribed something to take when I feel constipated but I'd love to have something which can stop the constipation and also the anxiety. I eat a very balanced diet with fruit and lots of veg, I'm not dairy intolerant or anything and everything is normally fine except when I'm feeling stressed or anxious. I've heard evening primrose oil and help calm the gut down.
Does anyone know of anything to soothe anxiety/ stress and something to calm the spasms in my lower tummy as well?
Thanks

Water and exercise are two really good things for stomach issues. Plenty of water will soften stools and also detox the stomach somewhat..

Gluten sensitivity ,drs don't look at everything ,hence why people have these issues for years ,and I mean years ,some it's been as long as 20 yrs living with it ,so go look at it ,I don't dismiss anything as to its cause .
Stress from this will certainly give anxiety ,but again gluten will ,even the smallest crumb of gluten will keep it going .This is the route Im going for a month ,see if it helps me .
Miseable ,being miserable . Go check it out .
