What Causes IBS Along With Anxiety?
I lost my part time substitute teaching position because another teacher told the principal wrongful words about me. So principal told Kelly educa. services and they suspended until investigation. I have IBS plus I now have anxiety. My doctor told me to take hyoscyamine 0.125 mg to call down sigmoid area. Although I did have all test such as CAT scan with and without contrast, flex sigmod, colonoscophy, and analyzing stools. Dr. just had to remove 2 polyps. Since job lost, I lost several pounds, diarehea, barely eating, my sugar level drop in 2 days. Every day I am losing weight. Maybe need blood work. Husband may take me to er room this Friday if I do not pick up my appetitue. What do you think is wrong? Worried -need to pay credit card.

Hi
There is this disorder known as irritable bowel syndrome. And yes it is associated with anxiety. It can be diarrhea dominant or a constipation dominant. All I suggest to you is try to maintain your calm and do not stress a lot for anything . You do not have to take a lot of tension or be scared . Secondly, get done to check whether your hemoglobin level are low . please increase your appetite and drink ORS as much as possible and fruit juices. You could also take a tab. Lomperamide once 1-0-1 for 2 days to check whether your diarrhea reduces. Also avoid glucose water. focus more on ORS.
Take Care
