I’ve been suffering from IBS, severe prostate pain, and insomnia from pain off and off for over a year and the pain is starting to come back. I believe these problems are from eating too much sugar and drinking too much booze over the years, probably more from eating poorly. I also have health anxiety disorder, so it’s hard for my parents to believe me but part of the reason I have health anxiety disorder is because I’ve had undiagnosed pain in my youth from this and I’ve only recently put together what it is. I don’t want to kill myself but if my severe pain comes back I hope I die.

I’m here with you. Do you use medication for the pain? If I could hug you right now and help u feel better I would
<3 I have no medication, only strong 120 billion CFU probiotics and saccharomyces boulardii, which have helped me heal multiple times but the more I go back to sugar or caffeine it comes back every few years. I have other problems from this illness as well, so I think eventually I'll die from a blood clot or pancreatitis.
Feeling better tonight?
*makes you warm tea
:hugs: Thank you!!
how long have you been taking these probiotics?
eating sugar and caffeine can boost the digestion, if they cause you to feel similar kind of discomfort, then you might still need to fix your diet – it might be out of balance somehow.
are you for example consuming any vitamin e? if you fixed your digestive system already, then deficiency of vitamin e could be causing the blood clotting
Chronic physical ailments are no joke. I have some persistent/intermittent anal issues, mainly fissures which, if you don’t know what they are, I hope you never do (but as someone with IBS they’re worth trying to avoid). Every fucking day I fear one will appear and completely derail life for weeks, have been afraid to try and start any long-term productive things cause I agonize over lost time and resources if one should arise. I have come to see myself as a bit of an unloveable monster and am constantly fearing new afflictions because of all of this (among other things), and understand very much where you’re coming from. “Don’t wanna die, but don’t wanna live like this”.
I’m sure you’ve looked into it and have modified your diet, but there are things that may help greatly with IBS. Gut health can be improved if not perfected. The prostate part, that sounds like a separate issue – have you had any medical attention for it?
