I do think my stress is a huge contributor to my increasing worse symptoms and I am currently taking an anti-anxiety drug and trying to take an ant-depressant, but having GI side effects that may be worsening the IBS. I am working with a psych to try and get on one that works for me instead of against me.
I do not drink any caffeine, and do follow Heather's diet to a T and never cheat.
I hope you are able to give up coffee altogether as even decaf is horrible for IBS. Do a search on coffee and read what people have said. This came up just a few days ago. And I'll repeat, decaf is just as bad as regular. As hard as it is, you should give it up. Sorry. Thanks for trying to help me! Nothing helps, and I am doing everything I can think of to get better That is why it is so frustrating!
