A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
No wasnt testing my guts. Ive been living off plain pasta, eggs and crackers recently and just fancied a lot of different food / ‘treats’. But it backfired big time! Im a bit upset/annoyed that maybe I cant eat food I used to enjoy, or I just overindulged to compensate for the recent weeks. Hopefully the latter.
I probably need to alter my eating habits though. I dont eat breakfast nor a proper lunch. Then I tend to eat lots between 5 and 10pm which Ive read can be really bad for IBS.
I'm far too suspicious, Mr L so I apologise! I would say that's there's a very simple reason for your "upset"..Overindulgence. I'm glad you will be reassessing your diet and your eating habits. Your blood sugar will be much better balanced out throughout the day and this will help your anxiety symptoms too.
Hi all, have a mixture of suffering and queries if anybody can help.
Things have been going well with the hypnotherapist, and he's quite knowledgable about IBS. I've also started counselling to help with my grief and further worries.
I've been doing ok, not had much trouble. However this morning, I woke up at 5.30 with like nausea and 'hunger' pains/sensations, and then I drifted in and out of sleep feeling a bit uncomfortable until 7.30. Then I had two boughts of diarrhea within an hour, and I've still been feeling nauseous since ( it's now 12.30pm). It's dragging me down a bit. My youngest daughter has been ill with some virus, a very high temp, and just lethargic, so that's been a worry for me. And last night I had band practice and didn't have time to eat dinner, so ended up eating biscuits, crisps, some sugary tea's, a magnum and some chocolate bars - just crap basically, and late at night. Now I don't know if there's a trigger there, or this morning flare up is just a reaction to all that junk food. It's the nausea that's stressing me out more than anything at the moment, because I don't feel like eating.
I'm also feeling cold again like I have at times during other flare ups, and that's again concerning - why would I feel cold in this weather?!
The hypnotherapist also suggested that I could look into allergy testing, just to rule out that there's no food trigger for my IBS - I haven't really noticed a food pattern/trigger before. I've read these types of tests can be a bit dodgy/untrustworthy, so where would I get the testing done? Can it be done through your GP/NHS?

I would ask for a referral to see a dietitian and see what they can do for you and not do the tests.
