Tummy troubles once again
Hi, I have recently had a promotion to store manager and I’ve split up from my long term partner of who I had a mortgage with for 8 years back in November, I have since got a new girlfriend and all is going well on that front as is the new job but I have been under immense stress and never suffered with ibs or symptoms of ibs, but since April I have had persistent tummy pain occasional diarrhoea, stomach noises, heartburn, indigestion etc I’ve had a FBC and a stool test and all came back clear and been told it’s stress related ibs, has stress physically made anyone else ill?

Re: Tummy troubles once again
"Immense stress" was caused by promotion? IBS symptoms can flare up dramatically during or immediately after a stressful incident. The pain you're getting is most likely from your IBS - trapped wind etc.
Are you still worrying about IBS being something sinister or are you coming to terms and accepting stress as culprit?
Re: Tummy troubles once again
The promotion has led to increased pressure which has caused me to stress out, and I am starting to accept it purely because the tests I had has ruled out anything sinister

Only sometimes my tummy plays up
Hi I have been diagnosed with ibs which I’m struggling to accept as I was convinced it was crohns or worse, I have got this under control recently and my symptoms all but disappeared I even had a dominoes pizza the other night with no ill effects however I had a Chinese last night, some ice cream and cookies and I went to toilet this morning and my poo is very sloppy :( I honestly thought I was getting better

True! Sheesh! Look at the FODMAP diet and keep a strict food diary of everything you eat for a month and cross off foods that aggravate your system.

I know I shouldn’t eat the stuff it’s just so hard to adjust and I had a few days where eating bad stuff didn’t effect me then all of a sudden it has

You can get away with eating a little bit of bad food, but don't eat loads of it a few days in a row. Have a little treat and then eat better, it won't affect you as much (if at all) then. X
Re: Only sometimes my tummy plays up
Yea I had dominoes the night before and then Chinese and ice cream and cookies so that might be something to do with it
