Dealing with Stomach Pains and Weight Loss

For the past week or so, I’ve had an issue with my stomach that I haven’t had for awhile. I’ll eat something, and about 5-10 minutes later my stomach starts to cramp up and I get really sharp pains. I had this issue last year which caused me to stop eating all together, and I have started that all over again. On new years of 2022, I was 190 Lbs- by the time December rolled around, I had lost 60 pounds (I was 130) from just not eating; I wasn’t trying to either. I’m at 140 right now which isn’t bad, but I just don’t want to start loosing too much weight again, you know? It’s just weird, I don’t know what causes the pain either. I have IBS, so it might just be a weird symptom of that but I don’t know for sure.

Can Work Schedule Affect Sickness?

Does anyone know if time can effect sicknesses? For example, I used to work at 9 am and I found my symptoms more manageable, but when I switched to 8 am, suddenly I’d start having flare ups right at 7:30 or just when I was arriving at work. I like my job, not sure why it’s so unbearable lately.

Finally found something that helps with my anxiety!

After years of trying different medications for anxiety and panic attacks and not getting anywhere, I’ve finally started taking something that helps! 😃 It’s called Vortioxetine, and I felt an improvement after only a couple days of taking it! This combined with mindfulness and going to the gym has really helped me with depression, stress, anxiety & IBS. I don’t feel so panicked anymore which was the main thing I needed help with 😄💓

Help for IBS Sufferers: Advice Needed

hello, IBS- d sufferers any advice out there

Muscle Tremors and Anxiety: Anyone Else?

Anxiety with muscle tremors/tensing/tics?? Does anyone else experience a anxiety/panic attack that produces muscle tremors? For me it’s usually a silent attack, I can sometimes recognize that I’m anxious, but it usually doesn’t cause hyperventilation, a general “panic” feeling, or anything like that. I usually just experience chest and/or arm pain, chest pressure and/or discomfort, and then the shaking and tensing starts. This usually happens once every few months, my usual anxiety doesn’t cause this extreme of symptoms. These also usually occur at night time when I’m relaxing or getting ready to go to bed. Has anyone found a way to stop these? Or reduce duration or severity? I don’t take any medications for anxiety anymore. I’ve been off them for 1 1/2 years (if that helps any?)?

Looking for milk substitutes as someone with autism and IBS

Hello you lovely people! As someone with autism I have recently discovered that lactose has been triggering my IBS symptoms. With cheese and milk as some of my main safe foods, do any of you have any substitutes you reccomend? I'm mainly puzzled on the milk aspect, there's so many to choose from and I'm worried I'm going to spend a lot of money finding one I like. My main trigger is textures of foods and not taste so if you could drop in the comments your milk of choice and why you like it, I would be grateful :)

Can a complete transplant cure IBS?

This is random, but I wonder; Because IBS affects the intestines/bowels and stomach, would a complete transplant of both fix it? I mean I know it’s mostly a neurological thing that causes the stomach and bowels to act up, but because fecal transplants work, wouldn’t a full transplant of the bowels and stomach work? This is such a dumb question but I was thinking about it randomly. What are y’all’s thoughts?
