You poor thing. That is a vicious cycle.
I'm sucking down coffee as we speak. It elevates my mood away from anxiety. But then I'll end up with horrible anxiety if I have insomnia and lay there thinking about my problems..... Gotta find that delicate balance......  Sidony |

I just finished a cup myself.
The coffee doesn't directly cause anxiety. The IBS does, if I'm not at home. You know... like if I drink coffee at work and then my IBS starts.... so I get kinda anxious because who wants to be crapping their brains out at work? So then that causes more IBS... BLAH! (As I tell my husband that I'm getting nachos at the Phillies game today, lol) |

UGH!
Well I don't have IBS (I don't think), but occasionally if I'm super-stressed I'll end up with diarrhea. I'll go home from work in that case though. Must be alone under those circumstances....! Sid |

Coffee is one of the biggest triggers of IBS. Try drinking soda if you need your caffiene. I know how horrible it is to have IBS.
Hugs, Jan

I've swtiched to non-caffinated everything because I find it to be a trigger for my IBS itself - I still need a coffee fix every now and then, because I love the taste - but I drink de-caf because it's no-where near as bad as drinking the regular stuff.
Maybe it's worth you all trying nescafes Half-caf coffee, cos then you'll still get a pick-me up, but your IBS won't be as bad..... It's an idea of sorts! x

You can always try an excedrin in emergencies when your head feels like it's going to explode. It's not the healthiest thing, but it works.
Also, when you are having a cycle, drink lot of Propel fitness water. It's much better than other sports drinks because it has next to no sugar. Sugar sets IBS off, also. Jan
