Its seems around this time of the year every year now for the last 4 years my stomach has spasms, my bowels alternate, I lose a little weight and i gain it back. I lose the weight because im afraid to eat. My back hurts, and so does my tail bone it seems like. All these things worry me and then my health anxiety kicks in. Last year i had a colonoscopy and endoscopy everything all clear only thing is ibs and gerd...this last about 2 months and then nothing for the rest of the year. Can ibs be seasonal
Sounds more related to what you are eating and stress levels. Are you eating anything different? Have your stress levels gone up during these periods? Try a food diary and monitor your stress levels. Not heard of seasonal IBS.
Hi julia, whatever you do this time of year will set off your IBS, so think what alters at this time of year for you. IBS can crop up any time, i know mine was awful last year i am now having to have a camera to see if i have coeliac disease. Let us know what you discover.
