Re: anxiety causing flare ups?       10/01/07 03:52 PM Edit Reply Quote lalala Reged: 02/14/05 Posts: 2634 Anxiety can definitely cause flare-ups in your IBS symptoms. Try a search on the brain-gut connection. There are several things you could do to try to manage your anxiety in order to alleviate IBS symptoms: Hypnotherapy (this seems to have the best success rate based on what people on the boards have said) Heat therapy: relaxing hot showers, heat pads, hot teas Yoga Tea: peppermint is good for the cramping, ginger for nausea, fennel for gas, chamomile helps with cramping and also has a natural, calming effect Anxiety medications: a last resort for most people, but excellent for those who have recurring anxiety problems or disorders or panic attacks. Try to think of what a happy time the wedding will be and remember that you're not alone in IBS and that there are ways to manage it. Best wishes and congrats on your daughter's wedding!
