Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I plan on using the IBS diet starting tomorrow so I�m sure the bloating and gas will subside some like you said. But I also agree with you about the stress. I have anxiety and it got so bad for a while. The IBS started mid way after finding out that i had an anxiety disorder and sought help through a self help program and it definately helped. I do take ativan when I feel especially anxious or have insomnia. The anxiety comes back sometimes pretty heavy but other times Im good. Life has thrown some traumatic situations at me recently and some life changes have come about and that is when my D comes on non stop almost. When the anxiety occurs. But this new feeling of constant bloating and weight gain and pain has only been with me for 6 months and Im ready to stop it.
Therapy helps for the anxiety and it trains your mind ,like how you have trained your mind to have the scary thoughts, to think positive again. I did mine through tapes and workbooks.
