Hello David

I have suffered & still do have really bad flare up's with my stomach

Had tests done & everything was fine & yes it is my anxiety & I do get IBS to

I find I am going through a bad time then my stomach flares up more than when things are more manageable

Also I have to be very careful what I eat as certain foods & drinks can trigger mine of as well

Do you think it could be a side effect of the medication you are taking , could be worth mentioning all this to your Doctor next time you go

I do understand though what Health Anxiety is like as I have suffered years & what ever I am feeling is never just a simple thing with me it always has to be major , the way my mind thinks , but I have had to learn over the years how to rationalize my thoughts , not easy but we do get a lot better with it the more we practice

Not sure if this will help much but wanted to let you know I had read your post
