My anxiety worsens after taking antibiotics 😢

@casario2808

Yes but I think she under emphasizes just how much these "functional" ailments START from stress/emotional issues, not just exasperating them. Big difference for treatment approach. If your GI issues are rooted in stress, and you go to a doctor to try to sort it out "medically", that can be counterproductive ...ie when we consider these ailments, tha5 have no organic cause, for the most part, are Mind Body or learned "neuroplastic" pain. Actual infection? Sure, threat it medically, of course. But most IBS sufferers do not find parasites or infections. And even if they do, at least for things like SIBO, antibiotics don't always work. It's still the brain at work, keeping score, and the body is the scorecard

This is 100% true. I want to try and help somebody by telling my story. About 4 years ago I started having really bad anxiety, was finding it hard to go to work or be around people or perform any kind of task. I went to a few doctors and told them that I feel like my anxiety is worse when things are going wrong with my gut. None of them batted an eyelid until the last one who told me pretty much the same thing as this video. She recommended me some books to read so I read them, and did a whole lifestyle change. My wife and I started making all fermented foods, our own kombucha, our own kefir, our own kimchi, fermented veggies, I cut out sugar, I cut out booze, started exercising EVERY day, and I can't tell you what a difference it all made. Much like this video said it doesn't eliminate the anxiety, but it puts you back in the drivers seat, it gave me power over the anxiety so that I could deal with that. 4 years later I feel 1000% better than what I did then. I'm not completely without anxiety but I have much, much more control to the point where it isn't impacting my life more than I imagine a normally 'anxious' person would be. I also was able to start re-introducing some naughty things, sweets, alcohol, and just learning what I can get away with without it impacting me. If your anxiety stems from gut problems like in this video, please, tackle your gut health first, and see what a huge difference it will make!

The upper pain in my stomach feels like an ulcer from all the stress . It can be sharp or dull but noticed when I don’t have anxiety or feel depressed I don’t feel it really …

This is what I experience almost every single day. When my stomach aches my anxiety triggers and vise versa happens too. What I hate the most is when I get panic attacks because of my anxiety. It's hard really especially at night when I'm lying down and ready to sleep. Just like now I watch this to calm myself. I hope every single one of us will get better and be able to fight our anxities.

Cortisol gets a bad rap. It's blamed for anxiety, high blood pressure, stroke. Sugar intake is one of the classic triggers for cortisol release. Regular, high sugar intakes may keep your levels elevated... Blood pressure caused by peripheral vasoconstriction, fast heart beat that elevate your blood pressure...

Omg. Literally anytime my anxiety heightens or I get nervous for no reason, I have to poop so bad. And then when I'm in public places I always need to know where the nearest bathroom is just in case my anxiety comes on and I have to poop. ugh it's sucks. It's like a vicious circle. It's hard to enjoy life when I have stomach issues AND anxiety.

I have been dealing with these exact same symptoms. And only last year I was able to connect the stomach issues to my anxiety. I hope you guys are doing better.

I’ve been living with IBS for over 10 years, with the last 2 years getting progressively worse. It’s unfortunately gotten to the point where I am experiencing consistent intense daily pain no matter what I do. I am also diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and persistent depressive disorder, which have also become significantly worse over the past year or so. Almost every single day I find myself crying in a heap on the floor asking the empty room “Why can’t I just be normal for one day” and feeling so overwhelmed by physical and emotional pain that I just want everything to stop. I know at times my brain is actively working against me, floating anxiety across my consciousness and into my stomach, but it’s so hard to hold onto that fact and remember it’s a passing feeling when I’m in it. I always feel like I will always be in pain, and my brain has done a very good job of creating barriers to keep that way of thinking in place and they are so incredibly hard to take down…

If you're not taking any meds, may I suggest something? If you put together a smoothie of equal parts red cabbage, carrots and celery, daily, that will help repair and re-line the stomach wall. Try also cultivating your OWN kefir milk, drinking small amounts daily (5-10 teaspoons) because it has the beneficial bacteria she mentioned. Also, increase your Fibre intake (prebiotic), as this helps 'feed' the probiotics in kefir and in your stomach. (Try introducing garlic and ginger into your diet - prebiotics). I used to be INCREADIBLY depressed, and would suffer from unrelenting reflux for DAYS at a time, but then I did all that and I'm beginning to feel much better. (changed my diet to low carb with no crap too). Thinking about the past or the future doesn't help so try to occupy yourself with hobbies and pastimes. Above all, start over with maybe 2 (small) meals a day, and DON'T beat yourself up for ANYTHING - be gentle with yourself. BTW, the main cause of acid reflux us NOT ENOUGH acid in the STOMACH, so it has to 'borrow' some from the intestines, which is HIGHLY acidic. To increase stomach acid healthily, take an apple cider vinegar pill 10 minutes before eating.

I keep saying this. Every single person I know that has anxiety as GI issues. RN here. In nursing school we were thought that IBS has a correlation with mental health issues.

When I was a kid I remember my grandmother always telling me how important gut health is and the connection between nervousness and stomach problems... This has always rang true for me.

This has been so genuinely helpful. For the last 2 weeks i've been dealing with GERD and then I went on medication and started feeling dizzy constantly and I would just randomly get scared and start crying because I didn't know what was wrong with me. My doctors appointment is in a week but this has given me a glimmer of hope that this can and will go away.

I can’t believe how u just spoke my mind . I have been having this issue and this video just made me cry . Thank you for making this video .

Anxiety also releases stress hormone (cortisol), which causes the body to produce extra levels of stomach acid. That acidity causes the lining of the esophagus to become irritated, and this can lead to stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, stress-induced ulcers.👍

The very first day I started taking an SSRI I could feel the inflammation-induced pain in my abdomen that I thought was my baseline drastically decrease. Within a week my elimination habits were painless and controllable. Besides that, the black hole of depression, aggression, and ever-bombarding critical thought dissipated.

It took me a long time to figure out the connection. Our mind and body are truly working together. I discovered a combination of things to help relieve my gastrointestinal issues and thus my anxiety. Discovering the physical symptoms and knowing that if I took something, anxiousness could be diminished within a short period. Add in regular exercise and diet. It’s a daily habit that works. Thanks for affirming how to treat anxiety when you have gastrointestinal issues.

You are a great communicator. I'm clear of a 4-month period that started with stomach pain and weight loss followed by anxiety-related issues. I took acid suppressors, I changed my diet then took biome restoring pills. This, combined with meditation and breathing strategies I believe helped with the brain-gut fallout from the initial stomach issue. It is reassuring to hear your explanations in calm, easy-to-understand language. No doubt you've helped others with their challenges or this multi-faceted issue. Thank you. ❤

I went 80% whole food plant based, no sugar, gluten or alcohol, take probiotics, add Vitamin D, and still suffer from BLOATING and fatigue. Looking back at my life I have def struggled with anxiety.

Ooofff girl yes, this is true. Whenever I would get acid reflux or heartburn (not as severe as GERD) , it started leading to anxiety, it even made me think I was having a heart attack once. I ended up going to urgent care, got some heart related test done, and was diagnosed with General Anxiety. I got a psychiatrist, got on lexapro, and with the help of my therapist was able to seperate anxiety from stomach pains (and other pains). My life has gotten a lot better, I am as happy as can be.

WOW! YOU ARE A WEALTH OF KNOWLEGE! MY GRANDSON SHOWED ME YOUR CHANNEL.

This video and reading people’s comments actually help me a lot. I have Gerd and a hiatus hernia and most times have terrible symptoms which lead to stomach cancer thoughts. The only way for me to get relief is acid blocking medication. This then feeds into more anxiety as I hate taken this medication because we don’t know what health implications they will have in the future. Anxiety and stress are awful and I wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemy. I read somewhere in the comments that replacing negative thoughts with good ones can help. This seems to be logical as our gut and brain are linked. Also, I think we can all relate to having good thoughts in our heads such as a nice memory or just thinking of our loved ones. I wish all good health and well-being.

This gave me the answer I'm looking for. I have been suffering with GERD for the past 4 yrs and have an anxiety and panic attack. Whenever my stomach doesn't feel right, I'm starting to feel anxious and my panic would flare up. Thank you Dr. Tracey.

Thankyou so much for this ,your presentations are so concise and well done.

I used to feel like that when my youngest was a baby. Hope it helps that I no longer feel that way most of the time.

I was nauseated every day for almost 18 months, and my doctor and I eliminated this food and that food and things would get better for a day or two then go right back to me feeling sick, so we would try something else. It took that long for me to realize I felt nauseated when I was under a lot of stress and felt anxious. He prescribed me a drug called Librax which was made specifically for people whose anxiety hits them in the gut, and I was on it for years while I learned how to deal with stress/anxiety on my own. I still get the gut anxiety from time to time but it’s controllable.

Also check for sleep apnea: My cousin had GERD really bad, constantly coughing and he had high blood pressure, which he took medication for. He also took acid reducers, but they did not work really. Then when he got a CPAP, it took a whole year, but then no more GERD, ZERO ZIP, not even a little. Plus the blood pressure normalized naturally, he does not need medication for it anymore. So this was just because he basically got strangled (gasping for breath) every night, that stressed him out a lot and gave him GERD and high blood pressure. He did not have such serious apnea by the way, but using a CPAP helped a lot. The crazy thing was that no doctor ever told him that both issues could be related to him stopping to breathe at night and that a CPAP could have such radical benefits, instead of looking for the cause, they (sadly typical) only treated the symptoms.

Not all doctors are smart some are sheep they don’t think outside the box they only follow what they are taught.thank you dr you saving lots of people with this video

No one has ever ever explained this as insightfully as this making the link between gut health and anxiety/depression and given sound advice on how to address it. Thank you for guidance.

Fluent? Plenty of black women in America are highly educated and sophisticated. Not sure what that's supposed to mean. 🤔🤔🤔 As a demographic, black women are the top group seeking higher education.

I figured out she’s reading off the screen using an app called teleprompter or something. The content is pre-written and presented most professionally, indeed!

Tell her she can try a 3-5 day water fast and some strong probiotics like garden of life 50 billion for women...Kefir real kefir helps too. Weak probiotics dont do much. The fast cleanses the body and lowers the amount of microbiome and then you can repopulate eat very clean for a while. Eggs, chicken fish salads bone broth yoghurt etc easily digestible things.

You're right, I suffered through this vicious cycle of anxiety and IBS for years. Even got endoscopy done twice and consulted several gastro specialist until a GP explained me in simple terms. Since then stopped visiting doctors and hospitals. No regular medicine, I do occasionally take PPI or low mg anxiety pill but only SOS (max 2-3 days in a row). So far so good. I'm in mid-forties now.

I feel so understood on this channel. It’s making me emotional lol I’m so happy I found you, Doc. Thank you 🖤

You took the words right out of my mouth when ever i eat junk food i feel anxious or deppresed i used to this that it was me but i realized this the past couple of years thank you.

This is so important, so many health issues are being dismissed by doctors and blamed on mental health. Sending patients away to get therapy and putting them on antidepressants, which doesn't help and leaves patients suffering for months or years.

Idk bout y'all but for me this vid was million dollar exactly on spot how i feel. May god bless her🙏

Wow. I have to say. Over the weekend I had a hefty meal and had a bad time digesting my food. My chest felt like caving in and my anxiety shot thru the roof. For the rest of the weekend I have had a horrific time fighting this anxiety. This is most definitely a wake up call to be healthy. My brother went through the same thing and now it eases me a bit to know it could be the underlying cause of my Anxiety. I will work hard and choose what to eat especially when it comes time to bed. Thank you so much!

I’m dealing with this now 🤦🏾‍♀️ wow very interesting.

This explanation makes everything make much more sense. Sometimes it seems that everything I eat bothers my stomach and it obviously can't be everything I eat.

This video is a breath of fresh air

Hi, Tracey, I can't help but cry when watching this video because this has been my own experience since early 2019. A case of food poisoning resulted in a h, pylori infection that left me unable to keep food down and with severe GI issues, I started to experience severe anxiety and panic attacks related to my reflux pain. It's now been whell over a year and I'm still recovering and trying to understand my stomach, I have been left lactose intollerant after all of this aswell, truely my microbiome has been ravaged by the events of 2019. This list of foods is so well layed out I'm going to write these up in my journal

I can really relate also, i have heavy depression and anxiety and if i eat any dairy, gluten, processed, sugary food my anxiety always hits hard. its got to the point where im afraid of eating and lost so much weight (was already under weight) Im a 39 year old male and a husband and a father of a 2 year old and im struggling big time. Im on 60mg Prozac after being on 225mg Effexor which stopped working recently. Its only been 3 days on the Prozac and im hoping for the best but life is so hard atm. I have everything i could possibly want but not my health and its killing me

Thank you so much for explaining this to me. I've been having anxiety attacks which turns into panic attacks, and dealing with a sensitive stomach. This makes so much sense now the way you broke everything down. Thank you so much 🙏

I’ve been dealing with the correlation off and and on since I was 9. This time my brain isn’t letting this pass for some reason and I’m currently I’m in the restroom 24/7. Also mid panic attack rn and your confidence and calm voice worked for someone reason!
