I have had panic disorder on and off for 20 years....during my major attacks i lose consciousness.....im on a low dose of prozac...7mg....sub sub therapeutic..you are suppose to start at 20mg...ive been on the 7 for years....could this be causing ibs now or is it helping......i still get attacks but in last few months started getting ibs type symptoms.....and last week was bloated, on and off constipated, cramping and then on friday explosive diarhhea....like a gallon of water came out at once.....i have been drinking decaf coffee for years but think they may have given me caffeinated that morning...i only drank 1/3 of a cup...plus i did a new variation of situps on an excercise ball for past week....do you think these both could have been trigger?Of course i was with my new boss when this all went down and had to run out of his office 3 times and the last time had a major panic attack (due to fear of ibs symptoms)and ran out and semifainted in the bathroom, drenched in sweat......
I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast(with hot water), decaf tea...lunch is salad(chick peas, egg whites, croutons, walnuts, tomatoes and lettuce), dinner is usually some pasta and chicken or fish with a few slices of whole wheat bread....i snack on pretzels, saltless crackers and celery/cucumbers.....and a mouthful of peanut butter? I also drink water and club soda for drinks..Do you guys see any offending foods here.Ive been eating like thhis for years with panic disorder and no ibs..why suddenly ibs??..Also, i walk 5 miles per day, do weight training daily and on weekends run a 10 miler on sat and 5 miler on sunday... Now when i eat this week, I feel the cramping right afterwards......am i letting my mind now create this....i dont want this IBS to take off since it will be so complicated with my panic disorder and just another huge trigger that i dont need.....thanks
