IBS pain type and anxiety
Can ibs pain be like mild burning for hours.
A doctor suggested ultrasound, cbc and urine test after I was having persistant burning pain in upper abdomen. The tests found nothing and the doctor concluded I might be having ibs.
I suffer from health anxiety and have to rush to washroom of there is any stressful situation.
I wonder if ibs pain can feel like mild burning for hours.
Hi
, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I also suffer from anxiety and have the same reaction to stressful situations. Anxiety is by far my biggest trigger, it causes flares and all sorts of symptoms no matter what I eat. 🙁
As for the burning, that can definitely be a symptoms of IBS. We have an entire article about it here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/burning-pain. However, if the IBS diagnosis doesn't feel right to you, you could always ask your doctor to do additional tests (maybe blood work, stool tests, a SIBO test - I'm not an expert), just to be sure.
I hope other community members will chime in soon and share their experience with you.
All the best, Karina (team member)I am so sorry to hear that you are also dealing with anxiety.
Recently I had a surgical excision of a cyst on my face during which various tests including blood tests like cbc were done. Absolutely nothing was out of range.
Regarding the burning pain in my case Normaxin seems to relieve it. It was prescribed by the doctor who suggested I had IBS.I'm glad that Normaxin helps you with the burning. Do you have ways to cope with the health anxiety? I could imagine that having to go through surgery didn't help with that...
I hope you're feeling well today and having a lovely Saturday.
