I usually post on the anxiety/panic site because I suffer from severe health anxiety. Over all these years of suffering from this, I have had periods of time when my stomach was constantly in an uproar of some kind but was diagnosed a long time ago with IBS . Usually when the anxiety subsides, my stomach improves too, but not always.
Recently i've had these real sharp gas pains and bloat....sometimes having a BM improves it a little, but sometimes I'm still left with those stabbing pains and gas. I take Zantac but not sure it really works that well. I was watching a commercial the other day for Gas-X and it described the symptoms i seem to have this time around so I was wondering if anyone has ever tried that with success. I'm just concerned because being able to burp or pass gas on my own sometimes relieves the pressure and I don't want this med to keep me from being able to do that. Anyone have any advice? And of course I'm now convinced I have colon cancer because I'm 67 and sure that's finally developed....ugh.
