My Condition of the Day
« on: July 08, 2007, 10:10:37 PM »
Okay so somehow i've convinced myself I have a fecal impaction. Ewww I know. I've convinced myself I have a bunch of the symptoms after  I found it on the internet and have been somewhat constipated lately so boom now i'm dying and am going to have to have stomach surgery.

 Do you think it would be obvious or kindof subtle??

Also any tips on managing IBS? I think alot of this has to do with my thinking.
 That's what I think i'm dealing with which can actulaly lead to fecal impaction i've heard.

Also they say certain mental conditions make it more likely which is why i'm so upset because I think anxiety is probably one of those conditions so i'm guessing at risk. Joy  :dazed:

IBS is a lot of times related to anxiety and/or anxiety disorders.  For me it is probably one of the worst symptoms of my anxiety.  Constant stomach cramps, bloating, pain etc.  The best things that I have found minus decreasing your anxiety is either Prilosec or Zantac.  Both or OTC meds and work well for decreasing the acid content in your stomach.  As for the constipation, you can fix that pretty quickly by getting a little more fiber in your diet.  Gas-X and Peppermint both work equally well for gas and a bloated stomach.

You are probably just fine.  Eat some food high in fiber and give it a day.  I am sure everything will work itself out.  LOL.  Excuse the pun.

Later,
OE

I'm still not getting any better i'm eating more healthfully then ever and drinking tons of water. Why is it that I can  eat like crap and be okay and now eat healthy and i'm not okay. My birthday is in two days and i'll probably end up having to eat a friggin salad and no cake for my sweet 16 isn't that great.
I keep getting upset and crying and worrying about it and I know i'm making it so much worse. If I could just not focus on it and worry about it it'd be better, but I cant stop.
