What does that mean? It means that certain foods and drinks and stressful events in your life, things that don’t normally wreak havoc on other people, give you alternating bouts of diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. Sometimes, lucky you, you can get all three at once! Here are some ways to cope.
You are not going to die – it’s happened before, it will happen again. Take a deep breath and relax
Then….learn to relax! Anything you can do to live a more stress free life will be of great benefit. Keep a stress diary, figure out what your triggers are. Is there a relationship you need to work on? Do you have a job that’s killing you?
Keep a food diary – find your food triggers and avoid them
Add fiber to your diet – bran, fruits
