So I suffer from IBS So basically it alternates between C* and D* all the time.
Of course whenever I suffer from IBS D*, I immediately relate it to past experiences I had in the past, which was that it was a precursor to the virus.
It was the final warning sign before you knew all hands were to be on deck.
So even though I know I have IBS, I go into panic mode, 3-5 times a week.
I use to think emetophobia was rough between the months of December through April.....
But no, ever since I developed IBS, my safe time, the time where I don't fear it as much (May-October) is not panic city. Yes I know it could happen year round but you weren't reading about everyone getting it.

*waves* Hi yes I feel the same way!
I go between c and d, and often it's a bunch of pebbles/sheep poo that are a 'plug' to pure water d (sorry for major TMI!). It's super painful and really freaky, and I definitely panic year round. You're not alone!!!

Yes! When I get d* I panic each time because that's normally what happens to me in a sv* before I v*. I always just try to remind myself that it's IBS and I'm not sick. But through the winter months it's definitely harder with norovirus around

It has only recently happened to me; it seems my IBS is linked directly to my anxiety as it only started getting bad once my anxiety spiked.
I'd have a random rogue bout of loose stool prior to my anxiety getting so high but this past year I had several bouts of it/d* along with nearly daily stomach gurgling. And waves of nausea. Granted, my diet needs to be updated to my age. When I was a teenager I could inhale sugar for hours without blinking. My lunches would make a grown man keel over with stomach pains from just looking at them.
A decade later and I forget that my stomach and overall body has changed. I'm still waiting for my appetite to catch on though, lol.

I had a really bad stomach ache, nausea, and liquid d*, etc. all day yesterday, and I felt very strongly that it was going to happen. I actually made peace with it and didn't freak out, even as I stood next to the trash can... and yet, I never actually v* (or gagged or anything).

Just goes to show the anticipation is what kills us the most. If you have the liquid it usually follows with in 5 minutes, it's not going to suddenly happen 30 minutes later it's one after the other.

Ah I literally made a post like this in the Private boards last week. Whenever I have the sudden urge to have a BM I get so scared that it's a sv*.
I don't trust my body enough to say, no it's just IBS--because what if I am wrong and it isn't?
Anxiety and IBS are fucking ruining my life. I have bad anxiety right now and I just don't know what to do.

I have IBS C and D. I caught noro about 6 years ago and I remember the d* being very different from IBS-D.
Trigger:
Tmi: It was pure water and very bright yellow. And it was often, like at least 15 times that day. The cramps werent horrible but I could hear the water sloshing and it was uncomfortable. But with IBS, I find that it is not just pure yellow water, it usually has some type of consistency even though its very soft and sometimes even explosive. And I always have horrible shooting cramps when its IBS related.
To avoid complete panic everytime, I try to just remember the difference between then and now. And yes, its a never ending anxiety train with IBS.
