Finding a balance between diet and anxiety...       10/05/05 09:16 PM Edit Reply Quote retrograde Reged: 04/15/04 Posts: 1569 I think it's really important for those of us with IBS to find a balance between mangaing our diets and managing our anxiety - and often the former can directly contribute negatively to the latter. For example, a person could follow the diet to a tee but be stressing so much and have so much anxiety - either about the diet or about something else going on in her or his life - and therefore still be suffering. On the other hand though, I think most IBSers could work really hard at getting their anxiety under control but if they completely stopped paying attention to their diets they would be suffering too. Again, I think a personal and indivudal balance is really important here. We all know how severe our individual cases of IBS are and how much foods are a trigger and how much anxiety is a trigger for us as individuals - and the answers to all three things are going to really vary among us: some of us, like Tinkerbelle may be able to eat whatever we want as long as we don't stress out about it, while others may be able to safely handle terribly stressful sitautions as long as they eat ok. Most likely though, most of us are somewhere in between those two extremes. Because of this, I think it's really crucial that we all listen to our bodies, as has been said, to find a way of managing our IBS that pays heed to our bodies needs BOTH with regard to anxiety and diet, in a way that doesn't exascerbate either of them. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Hope that made sense... Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
