I used to have really bad stomach issues for some years, that alternated between constipation and near-diarrhea. I can sympathize, it was no fun. I honestly thought I had IBS, until I got my butt checked, and it was found there wasn't actually anything wrong with me.

It eventually went away, and looking back now I realize it was caused by (or at least majorly exacerbated by) stress and anxiety. Hope you find something that works!  :)

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

It doesn't help anymore? :sad:

It seemed to have turned my problems around TOO much. So instead of constantly having to go to the bathroom, now I'm constipated and bloated to hell.  :argh!:

I fucking HATE IBS.

Yeah, none of the stuff that's supposed to help IBS really does for me.  Costco sells the PILLZ for it (or used to), have you tried them yet?

Which pillz?

Wholefoods sells digestive enzymes which seem to help me. I just, ya know, can't afford them.

I'll ask my cousin, the Costco pharmtech, if they still make them.  I bought them some time ago and then never bothered with them, because I either just got used to the bouts or did something else.

Uh, Nast...that's what causes IBS.  :lol:  Stress/anxiety is the biggest trigger, foods that you introduce while this is going on just have that undesirable effect is all.

Oops, that's right.

I feel silly now.  :oops:

I don't think people realize how closely their parasympathetic systems are linked to their stress levels, no matter what Penn & Teller say on Bullshit!, it's definitely linked.

I know it's mostly stress. It's been effecting my appetite lately too. I just haven't been hungry or AS hungry as I should be at times. This could, of course, not be a BAD thing just as long as I remember I need to eat.
