Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal disorder that is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Typically no abnormalities appear during standard medical testing, and so irritable bowel syndrome is identified by the symptoms. Although irritable bowel syndrome can cause serious discomfort, the intestines are not harmed.

Sorry you feel so poorly,I am taking some tablets called Stressless,or Valerian from the chemist, I think they are helping a bit, also I find that Back Rescue Remedy is a little helpful.Dont know what else really,sickness if awful,would it help to get out in the fresh air and go for a walk. I will keep thinking and let you know if I think of anything.

It could be IBS. I mean, my IBS cuts up in and out throughout the day, but if I stress about anything, it's gets like a hundred times worst. Try not to stress, I know it's hard and I haven't figure that out myself, but try! Think of something pleasant : )

I can totally relate to this, my ibs is basically ibs-d and constant nausea. I'm not sure where you are, but in the UK we have a tablet called motillium-you can buy it over the counter, it helps with bloating and nausea.
Also peppermints help, as do peppermint tea. Keep drinking water, avoid greasy, fatty foods, and possibly dairy. Don't eat big meals, just pick throughout the day, and when you can just try and have some "me time" do some breathing exercises. yoga does help.
If it goes on too long, it may be worth going to see your doctor, but if you know it is tress related, it just becomes a case of learning to deal with your stress. You have to work what works for you, and the annoying thing?? It takes time, a lot of trial and error.
Hope this helps, and you feel better soon!
