Your symptoms-long-standing abdominal pain, bloating, altered bowel habits, and urinary difficulties-sound like functional gastrointestinal issues such as IBS, which are often closely linked with anxiety and stress.

Hello, I understand your concern. IBS is usually a functional gut problem and while psychiatric medicines/CBT can help reduce symptoms (especially with anxiety), they rarely “cure” it completely.

Hi Hello, I hear the frustration in your journey. IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a real but functional condition meaning tests often come back normal, but the gut and brain are not communicating smoothly. That’s why both gastro doctors and psychiatrists/psychologists are involved. Psychiatric medicines can sometimes reduce gut sensitivity and anxiety, but they are not a “cure.” The most effective long-term relief often comes from a combined approach: gastro consultation for symptom control, plus CBT for health anxiety and gut-directed CBT techniques (like managing food fears, stress-gut cycle, relaxation training). Many patients do get significant improvement when both are addressed together. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

I understand your struggle. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a long-term condition, but it can be managed well with the right combination of treatment. Medicines alone often don’t give full relief. The best results usually come from a mix of psychiatric treatment (for anxiety), dietary changes, and psychotherapy (like CBT). CBT has been shown to help patients with IBS by reducing both stomach symptoms and anxiety.
