Doe anyone else suffer with tummy problems with their OCD!? And what do you do to try and get a break from it, mines seems to be in a constant knot, and with all my will power I'm saying it's just the anxiety!!

Hi there, I'm sorry your dealing with this, I have OCD as well and sometimes my stomach can feel really upset if I am under a lot of stress. I don't get it all the time, even when I am anxious, but I definitely don't think it's uncommon. Sometimes I will try to take deep breathes, hold it in for a few seconds, and then exhale and that helps to relax your body a little. Have you tried any supplements for your anxiety? I take tryptophan and that seems to have helped with lowering some of my anxiety I get from my OCD. Don't feel like you're the only one and that you can't get better, because you can! Hang in there!

Thank you for your reply.

When I'm happy, I have normal sore tummy!! I just seem to be very sensitive. I'm going back to the doctor's soon, and she's wanting to put me on something for my anxiety, but pills are a massive hurdle for me, because the medication they put me on didn't help, it made me worse, but that was about 25 years ago, I used to have st Johns wort, it took the edge off for me.

But I will mention the medication your on and speak to her.

Thank you.

Hi no problem!! Actually it's not a medication, it's a natural supplement. I believe I got it on amazon.com. It's great because you know your not going to experience any bad side effects, unlike many medications.

Oh, I'm very interested in that, I'll give it a look. Thank you.
