Its all on you but if your not prepared to cut out these irritants then you're going to suffer I'm afraid until you decide to try. The same goes with alcohol, dont have any!! Once your ibs has calmed right down as well as your anxiety and gastritis then you can get back to the weak cups of tea and an occasional drink. I know its hard in this weather but your gut will thank you if you just drink water all day long and if you feel like a hot drink I'm afraid its just hot water for a while. Something like go and clean the shed out or wash the car and each time you feel the pain just say to yourself well I had this hours ago or yesterday or all day everyday for the last 3 weeks and I'm still here so I have managed with it and can do it again.īut the pain is also there because things are not right in the gut so keep off the tea or coffee even decaffeinated tea or coffee because they play havoc with ibs and gastritis and expecially citrus fruits. Do something that you really dont feel like doing because you just want to lie down instead. I know its hard but when you feel the pain you really need to try and distract yourself from it. Once you dent into one or more areas like anxiety or gut healing it breaks the cycle and other areas start falling into place. Ibs/fibromyalgia, pain and anxiety go hand in hand so its like a vicious circle but dont despair you can and will recover from this but it just takes a lot of willpower. Yes you read that right 2 or 3 cups a week.Īlso try to only eat cooked fruit and vegetables rather than raw and try to avoid milk as much as possible no no bowls of cereals or too many cups of tea or coffee and especially no milk or dairy or even bars of chocolate except high cocoa dark chocolate after say 8pm or before 11am as this gives your gut a chance to heal and recover. The best thing for gastritis is a cup a decaffeinated green tea (decaffeinated) as this helps heal the stomach and the gut and balance out the biome good and bad bacteria.ĭont however drink it too often as too much can cause your ibs to play up. If you are going to take manuka honey then you need to take it on its own, in other words not in a hot drink as the heat cancels out the benefits. Camomile tea can help relieve nerve pain and calm your mind but it can also slow down the gut so again also cause ibs flares. Manuka honey is good for healing in general but you are so right the sugar feeds any nasty bacteria and can make things worse. I hope you start to feel better soon and can get out and enjoy a wee bit of sunshine and early summer nature as I know that helps me when so very low as well as some understanding. I have two siblings with gut disorders along with other chronic life limiting illness. Do have a lot of bereavements loss at moment making life especially sad with current situation on top. I found menopause very difficult too, thank fully over that. It seems so easy to get labelled and these can be unhelpful in my experience. Sadly doctors often have little knowledge understanding of how much this affects physical health and are helpless other than medications it seems to me. I had a lot of childhood trauma following on from ‘neglect’. I found reading GUT by Gialias Enders an interesting read too. I found the articles ( just skimmed through and saved for proper reading later) posted Pta8 interesting and go with with info. It’s natural to be anxious when terrible things have happened, especially in childhood which affects the brain. Sounds like your anxiety is due to some terrible past experiences- I do think the disorder word is unhelpful. I’m on FODMAP so avoid honey and know it upsets my gut. Just want to thank you weegmack for posting. It can also cause headaches! I’m just so miserable about it and I feel really unwell. The MGO (methylglyoxyal) is also an irritant to the intestine. So I looked up Manuka for IBS and the general consensus is that it can make IBS much worse, thanks to its very high fructose (too high in FODMAP). Last weekend I started having terrible abdominal pain and a flare up of a headache I’ve had for 10 years. I’ve been having a spoonful of it in chamomile tea once or twice a day for three weeks. I was reassured however that nothing sinister was going on and set about healing my gastritis. We had a long talk about my pain being way worse than the investigation and biopsies showed, because I’m so anxious all the freaking time. Got and endoscopy in April there and I have chronic, mild oesophagitis, bile reflux from the small bowel and mild gastritis. I ended up with terrible ENT, throat and stomach pain. However, from September last year my anxiety disorder sky rocketed because of various really stressful events (too much to talk about here). I’ve had IBS for well over 30 years now and the last few years have been pretty good.
