I've never posted to this board before, but I have a question that I hope I will be able to get some help with. It is kind of embarassing. For the past few months, everytime I get stressed about anything,(which seems to be quite often lately), I get diarrhea, or if I am going somewhere that I am not comfortable at, I get it. About the only places I am usually ok is at home, or at work. I get scared to even leave the house, which I'm sure makes it worse. It is really interfering with the things that I normally do. I was hoping that someone could tell me ideas that might make it easier to deal with, or what might be going on so that I can hopefully get over this and get on with my life.
Thanks.

Hi and Welcome to iVillage and to this board,


Sound like a nervous stomach.

I don't take a multi vitamin although I'm sure I should.

I do excercise pretty regularly. I am a middle eastern dancer, and I take classes once a week for it, plus I practice on my own other times during the week. Plus my job is tons of hard work, and heavy lifting, so I know I am getting enough excercise.

I have thought about meds, but I hate doctors, so I have been trying to avoid it, but I might just have to suck it up and do it.

I think I will also start a food journal and see if I can find anything that triggers it.

Thanks.

The cider vinegar is a great help

I don't think that I have heard of using cider vinager. Can you tell how much I should try taking.

As far as the ultrasound goes, what are they looking for when they do it?

I hope I am not bugging you with all my questions.
