Stress

Does stress make anybody else's IBS go crazy.

Yes it does :(

Yes it does, when I'm anxious or nervous, it sets my symptoms off straight away, i deal with it a lot better now I recognise that it is stress causing the increase in symptoms instead of letting my HA tell me otherwise. I couldn't do the relaxation techniques suggested by my GP so I take peppermint oil capsules which help.

I have thought about getting those tablets are they hard to take with Gerd?

I would avoid anything peppermint with GERD

Ok thanks guys it's just so frustrating, I appreciate your support.

I find this forum so helpful.

I have GERD and was prescribed peppermint capsules by my GP. I would check with your Doctor before starting any medication though.

Ok thank you I will. Appreciate your help.

I think Colpermin bypasses the stomach and only dissolves and works in the intestine so it may help you? Ordinary peppermint like in peppermint tea or peppermint cordial really irritated my stomach ulcer and the GP warned me off it-we are all different though
