Dealing with IBS and Anxiety: Seeking Advice

Magnesium citrate pills or up & up produra probiotics at target every night work very well for constipation. So does fiber one cereal in the morning followed by a cup of liquid.

I’ve had IBS C since I was 10, and I definitely recommend seeing a GI doctor.

I have ptsd/anxiety-induced IBS, too. One strange thing that worked for me on my doctors recommendation was over the counter peppermint oil capsules. Also, managing the ptsd and anxiety is important too if that’s the underlying cause!

Linzess &/or produra probiotics for constipation & EMDR therapy for PTSD.

Oh! I had IBS-C for a long time! After Expensive prescription medication failed me, I actually used the Renew Life - 30 day cleanse and it completely saved me. I can only pray it will work for you. You can easily buy it online or in health food stores 👍 Good luck!

Milk of magnesia is the most gentle on your body and it worked for me numerous times. Drink a lot of water with it!

it doesn’t say on your profile so idk if you are on any meds for your depression/anxiety/ptsd but that might help since that’s a trigger for you. if you already are taking some type of psychotropics, then maybe your doc could increase the dose

I have ibs-c predominantly thought it does turn to ibs-d every now and then. Methylcellulose (citrucel brand name) helps out a lot with the urge of using th bathroom and to soften it, I use miralax.

I have the same thing! I get really worried most of the time because I feel so bloated but I can’t go. I take natural herbs to use the bathroom. I use Senna and senna teas. Which work well for me. Only drink one cup because it makes you go (alot) it usually takes 7-15 hours to kick in but once it does you’ll feel much better.
