Hi All, I used to suffer from minor IBS and haemorrhoids (which I was diagnosed with in my late teens). Then about 12 months ago I found out a friend of mine was ill with a serious bowel condition. This triggered something in my mind which led to: 1) my heightened sense of health anxiety about the health of bowels, and 2) worsened my IBS to become IBS-M. I also became highly sensitivity to a variety of foods. I have had blood and stool samples tested, and thankfully all negative. I’ve been on a couple of types of meds but I’m still suffering with my health anxiety and IBS-M. So I thought I’d put it out there on this forum and ask if anyone else has been through similar experiences as I have? And what did you do to improve you physical and mental well-being?
