Default What can be done about anxiety and bowel problems? - 12-27-2008, 10:47 AM

I have the worlds worst problem about going in public with my son. Whenever I do I have to use the bathroom no matter what or who is with me. I think it may be anxiety but I have no other syptoms other then having to use the bathroom fast. It always happens at a store or if I am going out in the country. No matter if i eat or not. How can I prevent this?

This is likely IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. If this is a recent change for you, however, or associated with symptoms such as rectal bleeding or involuntary weight loss, then other things need to be checked for by your physician. The easiest preventive measure is to take Imodium prior to going out. Your physician may also consider starting you on antidepressant or anti-anxiety medicine which will help you with anxiety and the gastrointestinal symptoms.
