    Ibs flare up?

    Hi guys

    I’m a long time HA sufferer and have been struggling with anxiety bad recently on and off for the past few months

    Last couple of weeks things had been a little better not good but a little better I was just dealing with the occasional panicky thought and feelings and doing a good job of brushing it off

    Since this bout of anxiety kicked in I have had a problem with feeling anxious when I am due to go work nothing has happened there except that we are up for redundancy because the dept I worked on isn’t really opening after the covid crisis

    I only work 12 hours a week as I am a carer for my son who has Autism....I had bad stomach pains at work on Tuesday I thought it was because I had wound myself up with it being a work day they went off after a while and I was ok but still had a bad stomach yday was the same I had a panic attack while eating my breakfast no idea why and had a bad stomach all day

    This morning I woke at my alarm at 6 and immediately had bad stomach pains I ended up going toilet and it was diahorrea I went again about 10 and it was the same

    I feel a bit out of sorts stomach isn’t good just eaten an apple going to try some porridge I feel very tired as well even though I slept well

    Does this sound like a ibs flare up? I need to try and think what could have triggered it but it’s hard to think straight when I feel so scared 😞

    Thanks guys

    Thank you for the reply Nora

    I feel a little better today stomach is still very windy if that makes sense

    I did read last night that diahorrea can be a first sign of Covid so that scared me a bit 😬

    Obviously there’s a chance I could catch it at work I work in a supermarket but I wear a mask all day and wash my hands I work on hot food so that’s a given

    But I think as I only work Monday evening and Tuesday last week because I had stomach pains on Tuesday it would be too quick to have caught it over night plus I was working alone behind a counter so I literally interacted with no one except hi as people walked past

    I don’t go anywhere else except work I walk 30 mins a day with my son but we haven’t been for a few days because of weather and my son has uni work to finish

    Sorry to waffle thanks again

    Drink some peppermint tea - it's great for helping to release the wind. X
