Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

HI Gaga!
Good to see you on here again. I have experienced what you've talked about before. For me, I think of it as an entire body attack. I'm sure part of it is from the stress of knowing right away "I shouldn't be eating this hamburger" to the worrying of "I wonder what this is going to do to me now that I ate it" to the depression/guilt/anxiety of "See? This is what happens when I eat something like this".
It's a terrible cycle for me. I get so hot/cold and sweaty and lightheaded.
The pains in your chest certainly could be anxiety, ya know?
But the one thing I've never gotten is the sinus issues. That really would make me think it's a food allergy or something. Hmmm....
But just so ya know, yes- My attacks can last a few days as well. I think it takes so much out of my body to go through an IBS attack...and I'm a healthy 26 year old!:)
As for my test results, in case you're curious, -- my doc said there were small hemmorages in my colon probably from all the irriation/cramping/pains/etc... I have no other real explanation until my appointment with her in a few weeks. Thanks for thinking of me:)
