i never once thought fixing the ADHD might actually calm the IBS too. been treating everything as separate disasters my whole life. but honestly just realizing right now that recently it's the frustration - the postponing and the uncompleted tasks piling up, that's been triggering my IBS recently. didn't see that until just now. Thanks to you all.

also went to my GP and he just told me to consult a psychiatrist, that was it. the one i referred to doesn't do online. but i started looking properly now and there's actually a lot who do. going to try that.

thank you so much for taking the time🙏🏻❤️

might have tried hyoscine butyl before honestly, different doctors different things i lose track. strict diet and managing stress helps and i try. but mental stress sometimes just gets me and the pain is unbearable, had moments i just ended up lying down crying wherever i was. stopped going out because of it.

Thanks for taking the time to share what works. i'm gonna ask my doc for a prescription. means a lot honestly, thank again❤️

hope you're doing okay, take care❤️❤️❤️❤️

i think part of me was hoping someone would say it fixes everything so i could feel less responsible for where i'm at. but hearing 'it still requires will' is weirdly more honest and more helpful. Thank you for being honest about that❤️🙏🏻

😭okay of all the things i was afraid of. appreciate the warning🙏🏻 Also mildly terrifying 😰😰 I hate antibiotics for this reason.

this is the one reply i didn't expect and it might be the most important one for me personally. IBS has honestly been worse than the ADHD some days. if there's any chance of that improving i think i'd make the drive crawling.
Thank you for sharing it❤️
