I have a 15 yo son who is so miserable with IBS symptoms when he goes to school. It's so embarrasing for him to be in the bathroom for long periods of time, and is causing him not only physical pain, but mental anquish as well. When he is home he can manage it, but stress induces the pain and he is pretty much isolating himself into the house now. Has given up his music lessons, won't go out with the family, and school is excrutiating for him. We have modified his diet and that has helped a lot, but this pain is definately a result of anxiety. We have tried anxiety meds, but no luck.
I've ordered the self-hypnosis CDs and we are going to try that next.
My question is how do we handle the school? They are trying to understand, and have temporarily modified his school day, but he is still suffering so much and they expect him to go back to full days on Monday. Has anyone had any luck dealing with the school?
