Argh. I woke up this morning in serious pain. I freaked out. I thought I was dying. I had a full on panic attack. I got online and looked up symptoms and it kept saying it was IBS. Which makes sense given the massive amount of stress I've been under. I haven't slept much in the last few days...too much work, school finals, child and husband...and a new kitten who likes to play at night and sleep all day.

I remember having IBS before when I was at the peak of my anxiety disorder. I just feel like (please excuse the details) that I have a huge gas bubble in me. OUCH. I hurt. Anyone else have this issue with their stress?? Any relievers to suggest?

• I'd cut out fatty dairy - that makes me writhe in pain hoping to die. Try some probiotic yogourt. I will sleep with the makers of that so much it helped. Good luck. (n/t) 09:39:09 05/23/2007 Kate_1 (0)

I've had similar issues with my stress. Do you eat enough fiber? And drink enough water? They may help.. :-)
I like Nick's suggestion, too.
