Question:
I have IBS so...?
What should i do? Everytime i go out to eat my stomach acts up and my day is ruined. I always have to run to the bathroom.
Answers:
It sounds almost like you've caught yourself in the vicious cycle of anxiety/IBS. What I mean by that is that you know that it has happened to you when you go out to eat, therefore, it may continue to happen until you treat the underlying anxiety. If the IBS episode is started by a general feeling of anxiety, perhaps you should talk to your doc about something to take the edge off.
This may not be accurate at all for you, but this was my experience. I can now control it with meditation, exercise, and diet. I hope that you may be able to, also. IBS can really affect your quality of life when it hits in social settings. :(
