Anxiety requires no trigger and can last as long or as short as it wants to, it's a crazy thing but it sounds like what it is. I have them, too. Also have your obgyn check your hormone levels, just to make sure.

You could well have IBS - its very common and nothing to worry about. I have it and I just have to get on with it. It's usually set off either by a poor diet or anxiety/stress. \n\nJust go to your doc's to get it checked out and they'll prescribe you with pills to get it under control.\n\nGood luck, not that you need it, I've just noticed people write that a lot on here!

Could be IBS== irritable bowel syndrome. Go see your internist.

Diagnosing online is never smart to do, However, if stools are hard, then you may want to consider a lot more fiber in your diet.\n\nDring atleast a large glass ot metemucil every day for a week or two and that poroblem will go away

It sounds like you have a digestive problem. Stools floating hasa nothing to do with my experience of cancer patients. (I had two in my immediate family). If you have had this bloating and nausea for more than a week, I would suggest you see a physician.

The consistency of your stool (poop) is based on what you've eaten.  Solid poop requires less wiping.  That's the *bottom" line about wiping.  ; )

Of course not! You are not the only one, there are some other people having this kind of trouble in this world. Please try to see a doctor who is an specialist of this arena. He/she will be able to suggest you the most important and accurate things. Best wishes for your good health.

Same thing happened to me.  I was lactose intolerant and had IBS.  You have to cleanse your system and then learn which foods are causing it.  Seriously, until you flush your system, everything you eat will cause it.

I can understand where you are coming from. I've had a similar experience. It seems that you are under a lot of stress. That maybe why your anxiety level is so high. Drinking doesn't solve anything it only delays the ultimate result. You still have the problem. It would be nice if you could find a therapist or someone close to talk things out with. Since you are on meds home remedies, such as milk and sugar may not be a good idea. Because they could have a negative affect on your meds.  I am sorry to hear that you lost your man. That can be painful. It could have lead to some of the problems you are having. I would suggest you find someone to talk this all through with. Call your doc and tell him or her the symptoms. Especially the dizzy part and the pain. If your doc does not understand find one that does. You don't have to accept bad behavior from your doctor, office visits are not free. Keep writing here we won't give up on you.

yeah but for me its some weird reason... when i'm in school my appitite just disappears... when I go and eat (I only eat a hashbrown cause my stomach isn't HUNGRY at all!!!) and then I feel like throwing it up =( .. then i'll buy a fruit juice to wash it down... not sure why but I think it depends on the mood o.O ... i'm no doctor but that's my hypothesis.

No, it is not normal at all! Get the to a doctor ASAP! Tho I have to ask, what is a short time? Are you talking days? Weeks? Months? You really need to see a doctor. It sounds to me like you have a blockage somewhere. If constipation is a problem as well, drink lots of fluids. Water is best. You may have(let's hope not) a tumor in the abdoman. Hope all goes well for you.

Hiya\n\nI just came across this page while I was googling to see what coverage there's been of toilet phobia. I've been involved in the media campaign run by the phobics society this week and wanted to see people's reactions. I suffer from a toilet phobia (my phobia is that I will poo myself if I don't get to a loo on time because I have irritable bowel syndrome and often have upset stomach) and any of you wanting to get support with similar issues please either contact the national phobics society or the uk online toilet phobia group (search yahoo groups). It's a massive issue but you can get help! Tanya :-)
