Apologies for tmi.
For a few months now I’ve had problems with my bowels. It’s usually after eating where I will get cramps and need to do a poo or two. Usually it will be normal/soft then followed by loose/very loose. But it’s not all the time. Sometimes I’m perfectly fine and other days my stomach is gassy and gurgling. Usually after my evening meal but a couple of times it’s happened during the day following lunch. Then things settle and I’m back to normal.
I’m confused and worried. I’m over 55 and had bowel screening not so long ago and everything was normal so I will be recalled in 5 years for further screening. I had the camera check to the lower bowel.
I don’t bleed or anything but I am getting into a bit of a state about it. Anxiety levels are high and have been off and on for a while now.
Is this just anxiety playing havoc with my guts? Always been anxious but this has never happened before or lasted so long.
I Have just got an appointment with my gp next week about it but I’m terrified.
