I recently found out how much stress affects my IBS. I went on vacation last week and came prepared with a prescription of Librax just for my trip. I never had to take it. We went on a cruise and once we got on the ship my stomach settled down. I literally had very few stomach pains, and this is coming from someone who had pretty bad stomach pains every day. Since coming back and being back in the stressful environment of my job and family situation I have stomach distress. D and slight pains as well as throwing up Sunday and Monday. I have tried to manage my stress but it is so hard. I have always been the type to get stomach aches before something stressful. When first married and my husband and I had bad arguments I would have to quit arguing since I got so upset I threw up. Not sure what I will do but it was made clear that stress has a lot to do with my stomach ailments.
