Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine (colon). Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation. IBS is a chronic condition that you will need to manage long term. I am sure you are under treatment.

Depression, anxiety are clear cut fallout of the IBS. IBS creates obsessive thoughts and IBS in itself are anxiety and depression provoking. Because IBS needs to be treated and managed life long, it is better for you to change your thoughts and behavior according to the circumstances. Behavior modification therapy should do good for you. Please consult a psychologist.

Good luck. Take care.
