Smiles, yes it is. As a sufferer of anxiety one of the first things to go off kilter is your digestive system and that can lead to sudden unexpected changes which can alarm people but its a natural symptom of anxiety and how it is effecting your internal balance of digestive fluids. If you want to control it more effectively be real careful about what you eat and stick to things that are easy to digest and you will start to see improvements almost immediately.

In fact i can back this up right now because last night i "treated" myself to a pie and right now i am guffing for england (lmao sorry brit hunny)and in fact i just did one so harsh i thought for a second the cat was gonna pass out.....back to the fish and rice me thinks (am getting side eyes from someone now LMAO)

oh heck she did pass out...willow?....willow? (performs cpr on cat)

nothing is TMI.. I ask weird questions all the time. Im pretty sure Its normal not to have the same feeling/smelling/sounding flatulence.. I mean maybe you had nachos. Its gunna hurt lol. Relax I am sure your OK.

Yeah man i totally agree, one good curry and bam ring of fire......Now THATS what i call TMI

hahahahahaha

michie, change your diet. You often share these kinda things, and at times, yes, it is TMI, but only because you continue to repeat it, lol, but you can fix this, actually quite easily, but until you do, you are going to continue to have upper and lower GI problems. Stop eating crap. Eat a sensible diet with lean proteins(eliminate pork and red meat), get more organic fresh green leafy veg and the colorful veg, veg high in natural beta carotene, antioxidants and fiber. This acts like a 'broom' to sweep out the bad stuff. Get into a good exercise routine, this also helps to stimulate good digestion. Lay off refined sugar, candy, sweets, colas, this is a a digestive killer and creates a playground for Candida, just do it for two weeks and you will see what a difference it makes. Please do it, and stop talking about poop and gas probs, Pleeeeaase! take care and good health.

You all are cracking me up (Elament especially - thanks for sharing you humor! I am envisioning the cat cpr LOL)

I agree with Luv - change your diet if you want to feel better and worry less. I changed mine last Spring and saw MAJOR improvements in GI problems I had had off and on for years. And I had more even energy throughout the day. I eat protein with every meal and also for a small snack in am and pm. I eat more salad (leafy greens) and lots of fruit (something I've always liked). I go light on the breads, pastas, rice and try to eat mostly whole grains when I do (but I still eat some white bread, rice, just not a lot). I avoid sugar as much as possible except for a little dark chocolate for a treat. My GI health is so much better.

Yep defo Mindy right on the money as usual!!!!

Oh and sam, give the girl a break! I love these topics bout poop and guffs they make my day! You are just upset coz i can do bigger ones than you, heck mine are so large i have to lift the cover and do them straight into the sewer because the toilet hasnt yet been desinged that can cope with the stress!!!

(oh heck i just realised if someone reads this i am in soooo much trouble...wait! she doesnt have internet at the moment! I am safe hahahahahah)

thanks for posting this question. I just started looking at 'Anxiety' but i've had it for years. i've tried eat'in a healthy diet but i falter and binge or dont eat at all. I run on coffee at times which is not the healthiest with or without anxiety. I've been robbed most my life with anxiety issues and even though it seems like to much info but i too have GI problems. its horrid at times, you just wanna hid and not go out! or eat! thats how i feel. this post has really helped me, thanks everyone
