The past 3 days have been extremely stressful for me and I’m pretty sure it’s given me a major IBS flare up 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. I was diagnosed with IBS at 13 by a gastroenterologist and I use to take probiotics everyday because at the time I was only having a bm once a week if that. I only took the probiotics for a year or two then stopped and I’ve started pretty regular and found how eating certain things helps when I’m having constipation or diarrhea, sadly stress and anxiety is a major trigger for me. I’ve had non stop nausea the past three days especially in the morning the nausea doesn’t seem to pass till I throw up or pass a bm , the nausea has seemed to last all day but it does come and go, I haven’t been to a gastroenterologist since I got diagnosed so I’m working on getting that set up now that I’m having major issues as of late but is there anything I could do in the mean time I have a job interview tomorrow at 9:30am and I’m extremely worried how my recent debilitating nausea will affect how my interview goes. And by debilitating I mean I literally freeze up cause I don’t wanna get sick.

( attention this part is tmi)

If you prefer to not read anything beyond this point that’s fine , I will just be going into more detail about this flare up 👌

Okay so this completely how these episodes/flare ups go , It will just hit me or I’ll be just waking up and I feel my stomach start to get butterflies. Then the nausea hits I feel like I’m going to get sick to I go to the bathroom and sit on the floor. Usually once I officially get settled in front of the toliet , I officially realize I have to poop like extremely bad to the point I’m like can I really get my pants down quick enough. Sadly once I sit on the toliet I suddenly can’t get anything to come out and I’m still nauseous. I usually sit there until I start to feel better and keep trying to poop. Then I got back to my room where the cycle starts all over again till I finally poop a little or throw up, okay this is the REALLY TMI PART... my poop is like a pale yellow tan color and comes out lose it’s not diarrhea tho it’s a weird soft in between like snakes and balls.
