Been a while since I logged in. After a very stressfull 2 years and on top of it losing my job, I began having all kinds of digestive issues. It began with mucus and going to the toilet 5 times a day. That freaked me out, but luckily it disappeared after a few days. The loose stools have remained however, on some days it's very bad and I have to 5 times, on other days I go once and everything is fine. I already visited the doc, I have been tested on parasites but nothing came out of it.
The doc and I agreed on anti-depressants, which I've been on for 3 weeks now. The doc attributes the bowel issues to stress and anxiety, which I'm sure is the case. The thing, as a true hypochondriac, which is bothering me is that cancer has not been tested. The doc is sure that it's nothing like that because of my symptoms and because I'm 40 years old. My bowel issues remain and I can't stop the worrying. Any opinions or advice?
