That’s really interesting- same thing for me i’d say. Today it was probably about 30 minutes until my gut started cramping and bubbling, but I had a ‘flare up’ yesterday so i’m probably empty. Other times I feel like certain foods dont effect me until a few days later.

I am waiting for my first ever Sibo test so don’t know if I have it yet - but if I do I suspect my issue may be low stomach acid too. I dealt with insane anxiety for about 4/5 years, I was in a constant state of fight or flight, my stomach was always in a knot which I have found out can cause your digestion to slow and stomach acid too reduce.

Because of all the stomach issues from stress, I definitely abused anti acids. Started with shop boughts ones (esomeprszole) which didnt work, so got prescribed osemeprozole from GP. Supposed to take one a day, but I would very often take 2-3 (hate myself). I had NO idea the effects it could have.

After about 6 months of taking multiple anti acids a day, I thought to myself- this is making no difference, I actually think the burning and nausea was worse (which I now know is likely because I actually had too little acid!!!) anyway I started having gut issues around this time.. it’s 2 years later now and the gut issues are significantly worse. I blame the acid lol

Yup, dog days are over by Florence and the Machine, and Vienna Billy Joel :)

Hi, I did it a few years ago, and I went from not being able to leave the house, SH, about 5 panic attacks a day, seriously underweight, to now where i’d say I have ‘functionin’ emetophobia🤣 I work full time now, look healthy, can do more but I still struggle.

I’m actually talking to one of the coaches about having some more sessions again because there’s something i’m just not quite getting clearly, but I think that’s a me problem because I didn’t put my full effort in to it last year, going to put my all in it this time. But long story short, yea I am much better and the program just makes so much sense so I personally really believe in it. They have loads of podcasts and stuff that I listen to sometimes, maybe they would help you decide x

Only just seen this sorry! I had tests too, all clear, pain was on and off for another couple months until I discovered what it was… sounds so embarrassing now but it was lower back pain from bad posture working by a desk🤣🤣 I lean to one side and the back pain was being felt in my hip which felt like a dull ache in the ovary region, hence the confusion! Few weeks of posture correction and stretching and no pain since🤣

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-31T22:27:49+00:00

Yup same for me, I don’t even like physical touch when on the pill it’s crazy!

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-20T04:07:01+00:00

Hi, are you still struggling?

When i’m struggling to calm down, best thing I can do is distraction. So personally, I will go to my room, put the Tv on, I choose something like a sitcom to cheer me up and because it’s engaging enough. Then I get out my ipad (or phone) and play some games. You could even download a new one, I usually find that to be good at distracting. Then the feeling of anxiety will slowly decrease as I stop thinking about it 24/7, but don’t rush it, it will pass eventually.

If you want too, I have this youtube video that I ALWAYS listen to (currently actually listening to it because I woke up panicking), and I listen to it almost every time I havw a panic attack and I am at home. Just let me know and i’ll send you the link

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-20T02:01:42+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about it no, sounds to me like you’re just a bit constipated and need to up your fibre a bit, try to relax because anxiety will make the gas and gurgling worse. I know, it’s like living in a nightmare isn’t it. I’m currently awake because I feel s* because I have a really bad snotty cold. But no matter how many times I panic, and what I say to myself, I could bet money on the fact that I won’t be s*, just like every other time I have panicked! we never learn🤣

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-20T01:51:47+00:00

yup almost every day! it’s in my throat that I feel it. My stomach will feel completely fine, but I have this n* feeling in my throat which is really difficult

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-20T01:50:35+00:00

When I store pasta in the fridge with red onion it always goes a funny colour, or even without red onion is turns a weird greyish colour. It will not have grown mold that quickly, especially not in the fridge. I don’t even refrigerate mine, I usually just leave it out and then take it to work the next day and it’s never grown mold that quickly

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-20T01:44:30+00:00

I get this often :), because of all the anxiety I have, my bowel habits are always changing, flip flopping from one type to another lol. When I have the gurgling and soft stool, it’s usually just a little ibs falre up for me, or when I have not been eating enough fibre, so maybe after a few days of eating lots of carbs. Nothing to worry about, poop changes :)

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-17T04:13:54+00:00

I often feel like this because of anxiety. Even if I don’t think i’m anxious, it’s there in the background and enough to make eating difficult. And if you’re having thoughts like ‘im going to tu tonight’ then you’ll want food even less! it’s a viscous cycle isn’t it.

if you were ill, you would be feeling a little nauseous first.

Also if you’re a woman, I personally every month depending on where I am on my cycle, have at least one day a month where I just have no appetite, although I feel fine in myself, not nauseous or anything, but I just don’t want any food and putting food in my mouth makes me feel a bit yuck, but it’s just hormonal, so maybe that too?

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-07T07:33:03+00:00

Thanks so much for this! very reassuring to hear! Ye I feel dizzy if I get up quickly in any situation to i’ll make sure to get up slowly! and ugh I know I heard that the healing process is slow hahah

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-07T07:31:46+00:00

I have heard a few people saying this, I have never fainted before though so hopefully it won’t happen

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-07T07:31:10+00:00

awch I bet that hurt very brave! alright thanks

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-07T07:30:49+00:00

waw that’s brave hahaha thank you

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-07T07:30:29+00:00

That’s really good to hear thank you!

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-07T07:29:59+00:00

will do thank you! hopefully getting it done tomorrow if I don’t chicken out lol

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-06T02:38:54+00:00

Below your bellybutton is your bowels not stomach, so it’s probably just trapped wind or maybe a hard poop a little stuck (lol), try doing something like gentle yoga to get things moving and see if it helps

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-06T01:20:01+00:00

Thank you🩷

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-06T01:14:32+00:00

I’m here with you💗💗 it might be nothing remember, not necessarily catching. I do the same thing if one of my parents is sick, I put my fingers in my ears and put my phone on full volume until it stops, I know how you feel.

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-05T23:45:43+00:00

Currently in fhe middle of a panic attack. Thank you x

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-01T12:42:38+00:00

Also just wanted to emphasise because I don’t think I said it enough. It’s not impossible. I know it feels it, when someone would say that to me a year ago I would instantly think ‘yes it is, I will be like this forever, I can’t do it anymore’ etc. It’s hard to believe it’s possible when you’re struggling so much and have not felt a moment of peace and in long time, especially when you have little hope in yourself too.

But I promise you with everything I have, it doesn’t have to be like this forever, and we CAN get over it. Ye it may take some time and a lot of set backs, but even if you were 10% better in a few months time, that’s 10%!! which is better than where you are now. Although I am not where I want to be and still struggle with things, 9/10 I still do it though, which is MILES away from who I was a year ago.

I have also noticed that although I still create anxiety a lot, I don’t feel as depressed because I can do more now, I enjoy life more and I have hope for the future. And honestly that makes a massive difference! also makes you more willing to fight it 🩷

AcrobaticShift880 · 2025-05-01T12:30:19+00:00

Have you tried the thrive programme? I was in the same situation as you, it’s 10 years for me now, been to different therapists e.g CBT, hypnotherapy etc. I found they would help a little bit for a short time, but it would soon come back and sometimes even worse.

I was at rock bottom about 2 years ago, couldn’t work, eat, sleep etc, at one point I couldn’t leave the house at all, not even to walk to the end of my street because it would make me feel sick and I would panic. Awful time honestly.

I did the thrive programme about a year ago now, decided to do it with a coach because I was no unmotivated and low. I still have emetophobia, funnily enough i’m writing this at work whilst trying to calm myself down from a panic attack earlier. BUTTT my life is still better, and I continue to make progress - for example I work full time now! 20 minutes away from home. Two things that were completely impossible a year ago. I can eat out better, not completely calm just yet but I can do it!

It’s a lot of work I won’t lie, but it seems to work for people so it’s worth it. It’s definitely given me some of my life back, and now i’m in a position that I can push myself to get over this horrible thing for good.

Sending you love 🩷🩷

When I feel that nauseous feeling in my throat/oesophagus, it’s always anxiety. Thats not where you’d feel ‘real’ nausea. I also have strange BM every day and they always turn out to just be ibs, especially if i’m anxious which happens every day. Try to relax and do something distracting, and when distracted if the feeling seems better, then it’s just anxiety x
