Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hello all!

I'm new to this board although I'm a regular visitor to Heather's Help for IBS Web site. After about a year and a half of symptoms, I have a name for my constant sickness. I was on Paxil for about 8 months because my Dr thought that my stomach pains were panic related. I'm still going through some tests to rule out any other illness but following the IBS diet and taking a fiber supplement has really helped.

I've been working out regularly lately and feeling great but occasionally after a workout I get really bad stomach pain and I was wondering if any of you experienced the same thing.

Also, despite to all the changes to my diet, I still get extremely nervous when going out. I avoid any car rides that are more than 30min because I worry that I'll need to get to a bathroom in a hurry and embarrass myself. I know that avoiding outings just makes it worse overall so I was wondering if you have any tips for dealing with anxiety.

Thanks!!
Mari
