For me my anxiety is definitely the culprit 99% of the time. That 1% usually is from something I shouldn't have eaten. For exsmple, this weekend, once again, I had Heather's Dill Salmon with Roasted Potatoes. I didn't have salmon, instead I had Whiting Fillet. I didn't peel the potatoes. I had this on Friday and then finished it off on Saturday. About 1/2 hour after eating on Saturday, I had D and I can attribute that from not peeling the potatoes (why it didn't happen on Friday when I first ate it is beyond me). Anyway, I was at home.
The 99% is from my anxiety. If I know I have to go to work or go shopping etc., I will only eat very small amounts of safe foods. If on a weeknight I eat a safe food item that I would normally eat on a weekend at home, I will stress my gut the following morning because I feel like I shouldn't have eaten (even though it's a safe food item) and I'll aggravate my gut to the point where I will get D--I'm IBS-C. Add to that the fact that I have to get on the subway for 1/2 hour to go to work and as soon as the train stops in the tunnel for god knows what reason, I go into super stress mode and the D cramps REALLY kick up then. God that sucks.
It sounds crazy I know, but I know how my head works, specially since the IBS. Tomorrow I'll be on Day 86 of the self hypnosis CDs and though I'm better than where I was before I started, I've not had the success that others have had. But I keep on keeping on!
