Lingering stomach issues after a flare up?
I’m not sure if I have full-blown IBS but a few times this year I have found myself having a bad bout of diarrhea that seems to continue to irritate my gut for a few days.
On Monday I spent an hour in the morning leaking like a faucet after eating something that probably wasn’t good for an already touchy stomach. When something like this happens, I’ll often be fine for the rest of the day and then the next morning I get diarrhea again even if I eat very bland/light, but then usually I’m better as the day goes on. This might last for a few more days, but overall my gut just seems very touchy after a single episode.
Maybe this is normal but I get extremely anxious when I have gut issues (I have a huge fear of having an accident in public so that probably doesn’t help).
