Hey all hope your not getting annoyed at me but just need to speak out because I am getting no help elsewhere. At the moment with my health anxiety is getting bad from not normal bm's got less of an appetite and just worrying by the way I have ibs. Now because of this my worry is the C word because of the symptoms but is it cause of the insane heatwave we are having at the minute or am I just crazy? I need help but nowhere to go

I get anxiety also from the heatwave diarreah too. We getting at least 5 days with 95 plus degrees and humidity.

Thing is I don't get diarrhea it's normal but really dark not black but like a dark wood colour which sends me worrying

[Jamie2018 in reply to Cjc_woodworx]

Well I'm not a Dr but I've heard the color white is something to be concerned about. I wouldn't worry much about it. Easier said than done I know. I get the dark wood color too.

I'm gonna tell you a little story. When my firstborn was still in diapers she had a stomach bug and she didn't eat only drank fluids per Dr orders. In a day or 2 I changed her diaper and freaked out. It was bright red! In a panic i brought her and the bright red dirty to the Dr. He took one look at it and asked me what she had been drinking and I said cherry Hi C. He said well there you go. I think I turned as red as the diaper!

Drink lots of water and eat light like salads and fruit maybe snack on cheese and crackers. Deviled eggs or hard boiled eggs too. Whenever it's above 95 I have a hard time with anxiety I think because it's not just hot but extremely hot. I think about putting my face in a chilled sliced watermelon or think about last winter's cold and snow. Hang in there it won't be hot forever

I’ve suffered with anxiety and IBS for a few years I’ve had all different stool colours , loose bowels and constipation , the heat makes me feel worse too especially for my appetite I can barely eat when it’s too warm
