I have had anxiety, now severe anxiety for most of this year. I am very stressed now as i have not had a solid poo for months. I have to go to the toilet urgently every morning and my bowel is uncomfortable. Getting so stressed there is something wrong as i have also lost weight. Has anyone else had this? xx
Hi, yes I have, I think we get irritable bowel induced by anxiety and stress, and stress makes you lose quite a bit of weight, I had the same, but your mind does overtime, try and calm down, and get back on an even keel, and you should find it will slowly dissipate, and get back to normal, unless you have any other ailments that would indicate illness then see your gp.
catherine23104 i have had half my Bowel out Gang Green since them cronic diarrhea the Dr, in Melbourne put me on Questran Lite it absorbs the bile acid in your Poo and stops the Diarrhea ask your GP about it i have been on it for 30 years i mix it with orange juice stoped diarrhea right away cheers let me know how you go i found if i drank less i was not going so often to
Catherine I am so surprised that you GP hasn't given you some Diazapam to at least give you some rest bite even if its short term. Anxiety will make your stools pretty bad you need something to just calm your body down so you cna re sync at least.
Since the reclassification of drugs Drs are very very reluctant to give diazepam as its addictive xx
Your right Diazapam is addictive but in a short course it is proven to be helpful.
