Xzanion 3 Posted October 24, 2015 I was wondering, because I notice I have had first symptoms when my anxiety began, I get pain, bloating and cramping in my left side. And I tend to get constipated easily, I also try to avoid sweets, chocolate and high fat foods as much as I possibly can. But I used to eat that stuff all the time and it was no problem, until of course my anxiety began. Although I am 16, and my family tends to eat high fat foods, I'm not over weight, In fact I weigh 160lbs, 77kilos, my parents aren't over weight. And as far as I know I don't think IBS in my genes, but I haven't asked anyone. If I have IBS, can it be managed by a antidepressant, because I am on a antidepressant that doesnt cause constipation. And I was also wondering, is it something to worry about?, is IBS a sign for worse things in the future such as colon c****r or anything like that? I am just concerned.

JOYCICLE 654 Posted October 24, 2015 IBS is a very common thing and can have lots of sources. Definitely anxiety is one of them. You're feeling it on the left side where the colon descends and that is the most common spot for waste and gasses to get built up and lodged and sort of need to be worked out. It's very common and doesn't mean anything bad is coming in the future. Are you active ? The more active we are , the better and more efficiently our bowels work.
