Hi people,

Been having trouble with my stomach for about 5-6 weeks now always making noise like hungry. And also have that feeling of nerves you get when your a kid night before Xmas. I’m 27 and also have health anxiety which is hard to deal with in times like this.

I have lost nearly 2kg in about 4-5 days and this is worrying me even more. The doctor put me on acid reflux tabs and peppermint oil tabs. I’m sat here thinking the worst like big C etc I just want to know is this all just IBS or something more as it doesn’t show all symptoms online

I'm sorry you are having a hard time but it does sound very much like IBS. I find when I'm nervous my stomach makes lots and lots of noise and I loss weight due to anxiety. I'm now 49 and feel bi should have addressed my anxiety be long time ago but can't change it now. There is a really good recoded webinar on this site about health anxiety, I watched it yesterday and found it really helpful 💛

If you go to the home page and search 'health anxiety webinar' the link comes up , think it days live webinar but it's available as recorded. It's in 2 parts , first is free then small registration fee for second part...it does tell you blood in stools can be normal part of body functions, I have the same problem and I felt comforted to hear that 💛

Have you been tested for h pylori? I had this last year and was fobbed off with buscopan etc for a year before they found it. Symptoms are. Acid reflux, bloating after meals or empty stomach, gurgling guts like wind pockets and spasms. Tender after going to loo. It also causes anxiety because it lowers the serotonin in your body50 percent of us carry it but not all get symptoms. It’s really common

Go get a test good luck

In the UK, there are set tests for diagnosing IBS through blood and stool samples:

So if you lost all that weight you must have diarrhea. Have you been tested for celiac?

Haven’t been tested for anything I don’t think they did blood tests yesterday which I’m guessing was routine bloods. They have just said I will be seen within 2weeks. Yesterday there was streaks of blood in it and today really dark think with little bits of blood on wiping (sorry to be graphic. It’s midnight and I just rang my cousin whilst using the toilet because I’m that worried. All I can think is it’s something really bad and that they are fobbing me off and making me wait

So do you have like a vibration sensation inside?

Sometimes like nerves

Ok, yeah. So that is your vagus nerve. For whatever reason it's irritated. It could be nerves/anxiety. So try some breathing exercises to activate your parasympathetic nervous system snd shut down your sympathetic nervous system a bit.

When your sympathetic nervous system is ramped up it will have a direct impact on your GI tract by slowing it down and limiting acid production. Adding antacids will only slow it down even more.

How does your stomach feel after eating?
