    HI poppy-- Have you been diagnosed with IBS? Have you been to a doctor? Are you in treatment for your anxiety? I am sorry you are struggling. I have IBS and anxiety and the combo is not fun!

    There are various medications you can purchase to stop you going to the toilet, however  I would advise you discuss your problem with your GP. If you are going to the toilet  regular you could try a some salt and sugar in warm water, the water, sugar and salt may be able to calm you tummy. and  will replace the electrolytes that you are loosing.

    Make your appointment with your GP. In the short term until you  see him go to the chemist and they will be able to sell you medications to settle your problem

    Hi Poppy, it's hard to say how bad your problems are and more importantly what they are caused by as you mentioned no hospital tests, no doctors appointments, no diagnosis. How long has it been going on? Why are you like this? Did you eat something wrong? See your doctor 1st then tell us how you get on then let's see if people on here can help. Good luck you need to see someone 1st!

      Good advice from Sam, as none of us on here can advise you on a problem that seems a bit ‘vague’ for want of a better expression, and not wanting to cause offence. A doctor can examine you and make some suggestions and like Sam said, order some tests if appropriate. I wish you well.

    Hi sorry was in a panic when i wrote my question. I've been diagnosed with IBS for about 2years and the same with my anxiety. Im on medication for anxiety i take beta blockers and citalopram both 20mg. But nothing has been done about my IBS. Ive had a blood test for celiac disease and it come back normal. I know what triggers it dairy and spicy food so i try to avoid them. My stomach is just hurting all the time. Im going to the doctors just want some ideas to calm my stomach as i dont have a clue.
