I have been suffering with a funny tummy for a few months now. At first I thought it was a dairy intolerance, so I cut it out from my diet. It continued so I went to my doctor and he suggested IBS. I get terrible cramping pains, bouts of constipation and then diaorreah and a generally unsettled feeling in my stomach.
This is not helped by the fact that my panic/anxiety is mainly due to my Emetophobia. Therefore I go straight into "panic mode" whenever I have the slightest grumble in my stomach. I am constantly taking anti-diaorreah tablets, which my boyfriend thinks is not helping my stomach. I then reach for the Stemetil. I'm not sure if it is IBS or just all part of the anxiety.
Does anyone else suffer similar symptoms? Also if you also suffer with Emetophobia.....how do you cope?
Thanks
