yep! i have the same issues, i have IBS and anxiety and one trigger for the IBS to kick in and give me heck is a nervous thought like- oh geez i cant go there cause what if i get sick and need a toilet, oh no im cant go to their house cause what if i have an attack and need the toilet for an hour, JUST the thought brings it on, no matter where i go or what i do i will have this, just going to a family function brings it on, so my life has become very limited and of course the IBS itself just has mond of its own aside from the anxiety.I posted on the IBS board also but no one has answered, I am afraid to take meds, actually will have an anxiety attack after taking one, all i have is Generic Bentyl that i take for the spasms but i havent been to the dr to get more so i suffer with the pain and mine will last for up to a week and a half at times. Only other thing i have thought of would be xanax to hold of the nervousness that would hopefully hold off an attack but I am scared to death to take it so im at a loss also, lets see if we get any ideas from other posters...
