Hello all, hope everybody is okay.

For the past year, i've had what I think is directly associated with my anxiety. I have bad urges right after I get up to have a bowel movement. This goes on for about 2 hours after I wake up or until I "clear" everything out. This started when my parents left for vacation last year and I was left alone in my house. It was an anxious time

It is not usually watery, just very loose and or soft. I cannot digest things I once could as easily and sometimes I am very gassy. There is always visible amounts of mucus and undigested food in my stool. I went to the Dr. last year and was told I probably have IBS. They took blood and I was told everything looks ok.

Is there anything that could terminally be wrong? I feel that if I were to check into the Doctors again, they'll tell me its just IBS.

Does anxiety cause these IBS like symptoms?

Sounds like typical IBS to me being made worse by Anxiety...a friend of mine was diagnosed with it and had the same symptoms, although his was a lot worse! Did you have a stool sample taken as well?.....Maybe think about your diet?
