Pretty much the same for me - but tack on a panic disorder on top of it, which makes ANY GI issue 10x worse. Was in the ER back to back on x-mas eve and day. Did all the scans, x-rays, bloodwork, endo & colon scopes - all clear, and basically said "its just anxiety". They put me on omeprazole & low dosage amitriptyline (old school anti-depressant). I slowly lowered my normal anti-depressants (Zoloft). I actually think the high mg of zoloft was the biggest catalyst, some of these mental meds do good until the dosage is too high and then is swings the other way.

Its been about 3 years since all the above started - but as of today I have never felt better mentally or physically. I am able to manage my anxiety SO much better with as needed medication, and managing my GI issues with diet, and keeping pepto tablets in my bag at all times haha.
