Been having a weird time adjusting to IBS since I found out I have it about a month ago. Today's really bad in particular. Anyone know any good foods or ways to manage it better?

Actually, I've just remembered. I went to a local herbalist recently and told her about my stomach issues and she prescribed a tincture (it's like alcohol with herbs) and a tea. It did help me so much with my digestion and alleviated a lot of my symptoms. It's pricey but worth trying if you can find one over in your country.

@Zeus No, my doctors already had me do a CT scan for ulcers and found nothing. They're sure it's just aggravated by an anxiety disorder I already have but since they're not psychologists they're not 100% on that.
@platy Yeah, I mostly just sit and chill watching something online when my anxiety acts up but since I already have an anxiety disorder it's hard to just manage it sometimes. It's very irritating. I'll try to look it up and see what I can find. One of the meds they gave me has some kind of small anti-depressant in it which they said should help but it really hasn't.

Stress is definitely a trigger. Even people with healthy digestive systems react to stress and anxiety with stomach problems (I know I do. The moment I feel high stress or anxiety my stomach starts acting up), so it makes sense that it's particularly upsetting for people with digestive disorders. My sister's doctor has also backed this up and told her it might help her to exercise lightly when she feels particularly stressed out. Can't say if it works or not, she doesn't do it, says she's in too much discomfort to even try. It's understandable, but it's worth a shot.
