Stress Aggravates My Gut. I Have Exercises To Do But Sometimes I Don't Feel Like Getting Out Of Bed.
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

I drink probiotics to relieve some stomach problems. I also take Percocet to relieve pain. My primary doctor recommends I find a therapist to discuss my problems with. I've yet to find someone. Actually when I can talk to someone about my pain, it begins to dissipate. I am very unhappy with my body pains. No one understands my needs.

Feeling Of Having To Move Bowels
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

Most times, after moving my bowels I have the constant feeling of still having to go. I do go a lot but it takes many bowel movements until the feeling goes away. It is miserable. I am happiest on days when I don’t go at all!
Can anyone else identify with this and is there anything that helps. Thanks.
