Hey all so recently I’ve been under ALOT of stress as I had a prgancny scare and I think and hope I’m not pregnant.
However recently every time I eat and mainly in the morning and night I have very loud abdominal noises and feel like my stomachs bubbling. In the morning I feel nausea and have diarrhoea. I’ve also been experiencing headaches and my stomach hurts but mainly in the morning.
What could this be? Prgancy? Stress? IBS??
Well first and most obvious thing is to take a pregnancy test. I hope you’ve done this already? Absolutely could be stress/ibs as these 2 come hand in hand and really mess up your digestive system. We all produce cortisol when we are stressed and us anxious/stressed people can over produce it which is what causes the classic “nervous tummy” : nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, pain and all of this then leads to noise as our tummy’s are churning with all this extra cortisol! I suggest firstly and most importantly do a pregnancy test to rule that out, then help your stressed tum with hot water bottles, very simple food (but not pasta), peppermint tea, antacids, hot water with lemon is good! And comfy clothes and rest! Other possible reason is tummy bug?
Thanks! It’s highly unlike I’m pregnant (I’m a huge stress head with lots of anxiety so I think I’ve just worked myself up a bit) but I went back to school and a friend of mine has had a tummy bug we’re she had diarrhoea could this be involved?
Possibly! Can’t guarantee. But if you are a known “stress head” it is very likely a nervous tummy situation
