Stomach Problems??
| Sun, 04-29-2007 - 2:05am |
Hello everyone! Just want to say quickly how inspiring this board is. It truly does help to know that there are others having the same problems as me! :)
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the lovely stomach pains that I experience. I know that it is from my stomach not being used to this style of eating and it will eventually get better, but if there are any ways to alleviate some of this pain, I'd love to hear them! I have had these pains for almost a year now (partly is because I had a bad relapse, but I'm back towards recovery now and feel stronger than ever!) and I know it gets worse before better, but any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi there, kj, I am not experienced in this area but I am sure someone will come along soon to help!

Hello kj_04!
During my recovery, I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I won't go into specifics but IBS is triggered by stress and anxiety. Talk to you doc and see if your symptoms are of IBS.
Here are some links about IBS.
