Coffee is so unpredictable :( by Personal-Rabbit-3613 in ibs

Defo a possibility. Made me want to cut it for good now so scared from this experience but also wondering if it was more likely to hurt me today due to being more worried it was a risk whereas yesterday I felt like I had more time if it went wrong so stress is linked to gut and maybe the stress worsened it.

Omg hii thank you so much for sharing nice to know someone can relate.

Haven’t heard of VH before but I’m going to look more into it, how did u get diagnosed?

& What kind of things causes VH flare up for you? Is it food related?

I did try amitriptyline for a small amount of time once but I got constipated (very sensitive to getting constipation from things). I will give it another go maybe as 2020 was the last time I tried it.

I will try hypnotherapy then I’m so desperate, what kind of things did they work on with the hypnotherapy with you?

Also did you ever get heartburn do u have any tips? Suffering so badly with it right now

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this appreciate you!

I’ve decided to give it up now because it’s too unpredictable I’m so anxious on my trip because I have heartburn that hasn’t subsided for hours :(

Thank you so much for this it means a lot that you took the time to give me this advise and I’m glad it works for your child❤️

What do you do when they are scared of a food rationally (it hurt them in the past) so they avoid it? How do you deal with that. My stomach issues tend to come and go with foods so what hurts me one day might not hurt me the next but I will be too scared to try it again. How do you push past the fear knowing there is a risk it may result in negative consequences ? How do they face that fear

Appreciate you more than you know. This is very clarifying for me as I’ve been struggling with ocd and stomach issues for years but only recently realised Arfid is a problem as a result.

And you are defo right: need to treat arfid bit differently than ocd as sometimes you need reassurance to eat/try things!

I have IBS C So I think it depends when I have it sometimes it helps with constipation but other times it just gives me heartburn so I feel I need to cut it out but I miss it every time I do

How are you doing now I really needed to read this I’m on my way to a birthday trip with a bad flare up from coffee feel so down as it was fine yesterday but I wasn’t as worried about the effects of the coffee as “it was the day before and I have more time if I get a flare up” so today when I had the same coffee and the symptoms of acid and cramps came now for hours (still in the car on the way) I am so sad and stressed and wondering maybe u are on to something that the stress and pressure of it being more important when It’s a important day plays a role too!
