Really struggling with anxiety and ibs! I don’t know how to put into words 😩😭 my anxiety going nuts over ibs. I’ve convinced myself I got colon cancer! This has just locked my whole body up in fear my lower back is killing me it’s got to be due to muscle tension but am convinced it’s a symptom of cancer. Also got
• heavy stomach
• hard to pass stools even though I’ve upped my fibre intake.
• mild pain in and around my stomach
• thin stools
• lower backache
• nausea some mornings
It could all be anxiety, there are so many symptoms it can produce. 
I'm not a doctor or giving you medical advice though. But go see a doctor if you're concerned.
Hi Kevin77579 anxiety can cause all of that. Have you been to the doctor to get checked out for colon cancer, so you can eliminate that fear.
I had a stool test bout 6 months ago but don’t know if they can tell by that. Came back ok though
Hi kevin,
Anxiety can cause that and unfortunately if you have ibs that can be aggravated by anxiety also. Ibs can switch back and forth from diarrhea to constipation. Luckily it is not deadly and is just more irritating to your life then anything. Drink plenty of water also make sure you are getting enough magnesium as that can help.
