Digestion issues with HA?

[Jsteve36]

Anyone else here experience digestion issues , notice color change or anything unusual about their stools?

I know it's gross

[Jsteve36]

Mine are loose, foul smelling , tan/brownish.

I'm just wondering if it is like that because I have been keeping myself in a state of heightened anxiety for a long time, about a month

It could be! When I am really anxious? Totally messes up my gut! I read somewhere that your brain is linked to your digestive tract! If you’re off mental wise (anxious, depressed, etc) it affects your gut!

I’m not going through anything( that I know of) but I have had bouts of constipation followed by loose, or watery stools! Last week, then it wiped me out and I called out from work! I slept all day!

Happened again last night! There are stomach bugs going around too! I would try yogurt, or fiber supplements! I’m getting some myself tomorrow! If it keeps up I would check with your Dr!

Usually when my anxiety gets high it messes with my stomach! Hope you feel better!

I have major digestive issues however, I’ve also been diagnosed with Crohns Disease. You may want to consult a gastroenterologist. Or try a probiotic. Are you experiencing pain?

[Jsteve36 in reply to Lilcake]

No, no pain

[Lilcake in reply to Jsteve36]

That’s encouraging. Try a good probiotic. That should help. Stay away from anything processed.

Hi there,

Have a word with your pharmacist if you can't get hold of a doctors' appointment. Bu definitely try to get a doctor' appointment if you can.

If you haven't changed your diet in the last few days it's worth an appointment. If nothing else, it will help ease your mind.
