IBS from radiation and Chemo

I have tried everything over the counter and natural supplements for 15 years. It's not from foods, it's definitely stress related. If I need to be out the door by 10:00, I have to get up at 5. It's an all morning event. If I have a stressful day, it usually hits me about 2 days after. Then it's more like a full day event.

  1. I'm so sorry you're been dealing with this for so long. My IBS is also triggered mostly by stress and anxiety... Have you tried any stress management techniques for your IBS? I personally find things like hypnotherapy (https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/hypnotherapy-app) and EFT tapping (https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/eft-tapping) helpful. I've added links to my experiences with both.
    I also find that certain herbal tinctures or teas, like lemon balm, help mitigate the effects of stress on my digestion.
