My girlfriend is 25yrs old and suffers badly with Ibs which is sometimes triggered by panic attacks and anxiety. She was fine though 4 yrs ago but then a close relative passed away it started. She has since had councilling which helped a little and her doctor put her on mild antidepresants and for a while her condition got slightly better but now it has flared up again and we don't know what to do. The doctor doesn't seem to now either but something needs to be done as it is affecting her life, she struggles to get to work in the morning in fear of needing the toilet and when we go out to a crowded place she comes down all funny with her panic attacks. She has booked an appointment to see the specialist but in the meantime we were wondering if anyone has any suggestions drawn from experiences?
