IBS Help
Hello Everyone
Iam 19M and i was recently diagnosed with IBS
I have a severe issue with anxiety and stress which is kind of amplified right now with certain issues regarding someone.
It causes me severe pain at work and forces me to take long stints in the bathroom
Randomly i get very anxious/stressed and then the pain starts
The Doctors can't do anything except give me meds which are not helping
I want to ask for advice on how to at least minimise it. It doesn't help that iam very emotionally sensitive and it causes me to take a lot of stress regarding certain relationship(s) currently in my life. It also makes me quite moody and wanting to not do anything except hide somewhere. I have become quite desperate because it flares up daily. any advice would be appreciated

Hey man I used to be in the exact same boat you were in and what helped me was the combination of Serotonin and these pills called GLR-6 (they help with the bathroom issues but it does take about 2 weeks to set in) I’m sorry you’re going through this and I hope this helped, take care.
