My nerves are shot

Every time I get all nervous and get even somewhat depressed and cry shortly after that I end up with either the diahrrea or loose bowels. What can I do to stop this? My nervous system is a wreck from the constant beat downs this illness. I am besides myself with how to combat this.

Do you have IBS?

The best thing to do would be to work on yourself and learn to avoid the stress where possible. Try to see the brighter side of life and not get so upset over small things. xo

I have IBS and when I get stressed it seems to happen to me. Plus what I eat can do it also.

I think its something you should bring up with your doctor, maybe they could see if you have IBS or Crohns. Have you tried different coping skills to deal with the stress?

Also, if you are eating greasy chocolate covered donuts in the morning, that might not be helping

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
