Ptsd, Ibs And Bowels.

[Jutow]

I have IBS and have had it for years. I get flares when I am stressed. I take prescription tagamet for it. It also helps with my acid reflux as well. I developed it after I had gotten married and had kids. I am a rape survivor. It happened during my teen years.

I had a doctor suspect IBS, but my symptoms sound a bit different. I take an antispasmodic which helps with the sharp abdominal pain which IS stress related. But, for the bowel symptoms, they seem to be related more to what I eat. Sometimes fatty foods make me sick, sometimes it's other foods. Idk if this adds anything to the conversation though...

I was diagnosed with it a long time ago. I do think it gets worse with stress. It also gets worse with some of the food I eat, so I don't usually eat it. Like onions, I use to love them, but in my twenties they started causing painful spasms. I stay away from them like the plague.
