i have ibs brought on by a stress. 4 weeks later i am no longer stressed but struggling to get symptoms under control. i don't have food triggers.

Question

My IBS is caused by my intense anxiety and stress issues. How long until my stress gone will my IBS also go? Would it be immediately goneafter stress?

Answer 1

Chinese medicine: Medically two things that can help with ibs are peppermint oil and digestive enzymes. I also suggest seeing an acupuncturist/chinese medicine doctor as that can really help balance your body and improve your symptoms. Good luck!

Answer 2

Unlikely: While one has antibodies for life after being exposed to the virus that causes mono. The virus should no longer be causing a problem.

Answer 3

Don't worry about it: Mono is caused by ebv virus, and a great many people already have the virus by the time they reach adulthood. Kids who catch ebv when young often get a milder, shorter illness (they don't remember ever having mono). There is no way to tell if one will get mono from sharing a single meal, 5 meals, or 50 meals. Ebv is generally considered a part of life. People don't spend time trying to avoid it.

Answer 4

Yes: Related to urge problems.

Answer 5

One of many: Detrol (tolterodine) is used as a bladder muscle relaxant, most frequently to control an overactive bladder. It helps to functionally increase bladder capacity & suppress involuntary bladder contractions &/or urge to urinate. Does not cross the blood brain barrier so that is a good replacement for oxybutinin which is usually more effective bur can cause blurred vision & other central nervous system effects.

Answer 6

No: A guilty conscience about food is not a healthy way to lose weight. Healthy food nourishes your body and keeps it running well. Emotional problems can sometimes confuse and complicate the process of eating, though. For instance, some with binge eating disorder suffer guilt about food. See your physician if you're concerned about your weight or your feelings about food.

Answer 7

Yes/no : 85% chance of being abnormal. And it can be normal in 15%of pts.

Answer 8

Normal!: It is not uncommon in some children. If the stool is formed , child is growing i would not worry about it. It is often from green leafy vegetables, coloring agents in the food or simply due to rapid transit from small intestine to large intestine where it normally is tuned brown.

Answer 9

Normal: The stool color is provided by the bile from the liver that is adds to fecal debris.It starts out a deep green & slowly changes thru greens to yellows to browns as the germs in the intestines metabolize the bile.Green generally means the stool in question moved through faster or was subject to less change by gut germs.
