Stomach issues

Littlemissanxious

Hello, 

I have always suffered with stomach issues when my anxiety is high, however it feels for the last 12 months it's getting worse. I have read that digestive issues can be more common for those with autism/adhd, so just wanted to ask if anyone has the same? And if so have you found anything that helps?

I am getting tired of constantly having to stock up on immodium tablets and spending days feeling awful. It only happens when im worrying about something for instance I am back at work next week after being off over summer and my anxiety is awful, so today I am now stuck in bed with stomach pains and rushing back and too to the bathroom. Its really impacting my day to day life and making me feel awful.

Any tips, advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone

  • I have suffered with stomach issues/loose stools for 35 years plus, but never seen a doctor

    It's only this year after my late diagnosis that I realise many health symptoms, this being one, is down to my anxiety.

    Last week I went abroad with my daughter (likely ND but not yet diagnosed) and I was fine, no pressure of work.

    This week back home with rest of family and back to work, and anxiety has gone up and back to usual regular toilet visit

    Another thing to perhaps seek some advise on - but I feel there's enough on my plate currently.

    Hope someone can advise of anything that helped them - whilst staying in the rules, am sure you will be remindedSlight smile
