Hello, first time poster long time lurker!
I have IBS and health anxiety/OCD so a pretty fun combo! At the beginning of April I had a food-triggered flare that lasted like a week, then went away for a week. After a very stressful day I’ve now been in a weird spot for about two weeks. It’s like I wake up starving, but before I can eat I have to go to the bathroom 2/3 times (Not D but also not fully solid), then I’m pretty much good except for a little gas/bloating.
I had a clean colonoscopy like 12ish years ago and a contrast MRI for an unrelated issue a little under 2 years ago.
I got kicked off my SSRI dude or an insurance change about a year ago and my healthy anxiety has really spiraled. I just can’t stop worrying this is something more sinister. If I really think I’ve had periods like this before during high stress times but I’m still really anxious.
Anyone else get in a cycle like this before?
