A lot of people with GAD also have IBS, that's why I'm posting this here.

what was the question? :?
i've had it for a long time now.. Most of my life. It keeps me from going on longs trips. Only cause i kow that i have to use the bathroom constantly. And having the feeling of not being able to get to a bathroom.
It's affected my relationship. Since that's really the only time i've ever really needed to travel or go long places.

I don't have IBS, but I do have Crohn's disease, which is worse. I win! Heh, just kidding. No one with bowel problems is a winner.
It affects my life as much as anything can. I don't go out, I missed the last 3 years of school, I can't work. So I'm basically disabled because of it. And i've had it for three years, since I was 14.

God thought it would be really funny to give me social anxiety AND IBS- so YAY for life...
I think the IBS actually may have started my social anxiety (and past agoraphobia) I remember having pain and "accidents" in grade 1. I'm 31 and still feel ashamed of this problem- I'm glad someone mentioned it though. I feel better already!

Hi Zooo, I had a terrible case of IBS when my anxiety was at it's worse. Some days I'd be constipated, other days diarreah, bloating ect. I had to learn ways of relaxing and releasing pent up anxiety, and eventually the symptoms began to decrease. I also avoided foods with a lot of fat and sugar.

I don't think I have IBS, but i do had constipation followed by dyarrhea. But what bothered me most was the bloating, I was like a balloon, I'd feel the need to fart all the time to release the presure. At school that was not possible, so I just got stomach aches keeping all that gas in me, but thank god it's over now...disgusting subject, aaa ? i'll stop here

Just like Crimefish, I have Crohns Disease and it sucks big time.
Just like IBS everybody is different in what they experience.
When I get stressed it definately plays up and I am still convinced that the levels of stress I used to be under contributed to the Crohns.

I was diagnosed with IBS *before* I was diagnosed with Accute Anxiety Disorder. This was years ago and I don't seem to have the IBS any more. I think maybe it was just a phase I went through on my way to some other symptoms.
