The last 6 weeks have been pretty brutal. Hideous tummy, loose bms, insomnia, horrific gas ..all that fun.
Tested for bloods, stool sample etc, all ok and doc seems unconcerned. Why is it that I cant shake the worry that its something more? Is it just a vicious circle?
Help!
Negative bias cocker. It's very much 'a thing' and it's there to keep us alive- except that we don't use it the way it was intended when we were in danger of being scoffed by big bugger animals in our cave dwelling days.
Reality is that if there was anything seriously wrong with your digestive system, you wouldn't have clear bloods, FIT tests etc.
Time to accept that the problem is your anxiety, and anxiety can absolutely cause bloating, loose BMs (and the other way) gas - you name it!
I have a lot of success with ginger tea for nausea and peppermint tea for bloating.
You're ok kitty. X
