Welcome aboard. I also suffer from some anxiety and nervous stomach but I'm having a difficult time identifying which comes first (the anxiety or stomach issues). I really think that it's the stomach issues that are causing my anxiety. As for foods, it could just be that the food is causing your stomach stress (not necessarily allergies). My symptoms sound pretty similar to yours (I suffer from IBS-D, nervous stomach, gas, pain) I've never been able to identify any certain foods because when I'm having a problem it's everyday almost non stop. I have been following Heather's diet for 2 weeks now and have only had a couple bouts of D, the gas is somewhat better and the pain is enormously better, the nervous stomach is much less frequent but definitely still there (I'm typically fine when I'm alone, but when I get with a group my stomach gets nervous - this could be due to memories of years of past experiences in groups). I no longer have menstrual periods but I do recall having D on the first day of my period every month. Hope this helps, and best of luck to you!
