Flare up!

hi i don't if this is even the right group but does anyone on here know whether stress, ibs and gastritis is linked? currently having a gastritis attack and want to know why i keep getting these? can anyone help please?????

Yup, definitely linked to stress. Your whole digestive system is affected by stress.

hi leeniepie, it would partly make sense, there have been lots of rows recently due to my sister-in-laws death. the pain has not stopped for about 7/8 days. is this usual? would you go back to your doctor, it’s really sore.

hi leeniepie, i have finally had a firm diagnosis. i have something called costochondritis, i have inflamed the ribs and cartilege underneath them. it’s agony! hopefully it will slowly ease off…:folded_hands::folded_hands:
