yes it can i have not had a normal one in 7 weeks , its anxiety,
hun, I have IBS and when Im stressing I go the bathroom about 4 times a day.nervs can do alot to you.Me Im doing oppsitie Im peeing a lot.you are fine....
OMG!! I am going through the same thing! I was just looking up what should be normal. SOmetimes I am fine and go a couple of days with normal bm's. Then I might get diarrhea. Sometimes it might be really light or really dark. I get so nervous about it. Sometimes it is thin, other times not. I am all over the place. I swear I am part owner in Pepto Bismal. When I get nervous and feel like I might have to keep going, I will take it. I have not taken it about 3 days- which is a big accomplishment for me. There is not a week that goes by that I dont feel the need to use it!! We are supposed to go to a friends house tomm night for dinner, and I am kind of nervous about it. WHat if I dont like the food, what if I have to go to the bathroom, will any know? Once I start thinking about this- I get that weird feeling in my tummy. I am sure I will probably have to take pepto with me! I use the tablets- so I rip off two and put them in my pocket- I pretend like it is a mint if anyone asks!! Anyway, I think it is completely normal to be so screwed up when you have anxiety!!
Well mine isn't exactly the same but along the same lines. Without being TMI...lol. The anxiety had caused such knots in my stomach that eating went down the tubes and I would eat to sustain but I could barely eat my normal amount. I started losing weight. BMs stayed the same for a bit but then my stomach went nuts one day and was gurgling. I thought I might have gotten a littel out of sorts so I drank alot of Fierce Grape Gatorade..alot of water. I never had diarrhea but it went from brown to light green to green to brown to skinny to big to everywhere. I am on Nulev to starighten out my bowels now. This is one aspect of anxiety where real symptoms appear because you supress your system.
