Now trying to relax this evening, but my stomach feels so strange don’t know if I got worked up this morning about work and that’s why, just went to loo and my bowel movement was normal but feels like I need another one but I don’t

You're overthinking it. You're constantly focusing on this, so you feel weird, end of.

I think I am just overthinking when I need the toilet, I’m like oh no it could be runny what if I can’t go, I just need to relax but it’s so hard

I’ve just been to the toilet for the first time today and was normal! But now I have that feeling in my gut and bottom that I need to go again :( that is classic ibs and anxiety yeah and i need to learn to accept and ignore it

It's definitely IBS... good luck with work. I was the same on holiday with the IBS symptoms etc but after I stopped obsessing over my stomach and bowels and got into the swing of things, my bowels went completely back to normal. Just relax

Cheers Toby it’s just hard to concentrate on anything else, but my doctor said I will know when I need to go and it’s just fight or flight that’s making me feel like I need to, if I just accept it’s classic ibs and try and ignore it I should be ok

I've said the same to you Jonny - the bowels are designed to be emptied in adrenaline situations, hence 'I was sh***ing myself' phrase that people use when they are very stressed.

Ok so it’s deffo just anxiety induced ibs yes?

You know the answer Jonny.

It’s hard not to think about it when it’s constantly there though I’m trying to get on with my work but it’s so hard
