My father recently died after a 3 year battle with pancreatic cancer, he and I were extremely close but being the oldest child and the President of a large company, I didnt have the ability to grieve and had to continue working and helping my younger brother and sister and my mom.
I'm 35 years old and in reasonably good shape, I play golf 4 times a week (coping) and recently lost a bunch of weight on a keto diet.
Recently work has been very stressful, and my long dormant acid reflux (gone since I lost weight) and constipation have reared their head. I have a pain under my right and left rib and gurgling from the right of my breastbone. I am in full panic mode convinced I have 3 different types of cancer. I know I should go to the doctor but I also know that if I went to do the doctor everytime I had anxiety I would never be away from the office.
Does anyone with ibs have the same symptoms? Anybody with IBS and delayed depression after a traumatic incident?
