I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with ibs-d (irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea) and anxiety, especially following the withdrawal of antidepressants. It's important to approach your situation with a holistic perspective, considering both medical and lifestyle interventions. Please keep in mind that my guidance is general in nature, and it's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice. Here are some recommendations: consult a gastroenterologist: given your symptoms of ibs-d, consulting a gastroenterologist is important. They can provide a targeted treatment plan and rule out other possible conditions. Dietary modifications: follow a low fodmap diet, which limits foods that are known to exacerbate ibs symptoms. Increase your intake of soluble fiber, which can help with diarrhea by absorbing water and adding bulk to stools. Avoid trigger foods that can worsen diarrhea and cramps, like caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, and high-fat foods. Keep a food diary to track what you eat and how it affects your symptoms. Medications for ibs-d: antispasmodics like hyoscine (buscopan) can help reduce abdominal cramps. Loperamide (imodium) can be used for controlling diarrhea. Probiotics might help some people with ibs by improving the balance of bacteria in the gut. Managing anxiety: since anxiety can exacerbate ibs symptoms, addressing your anxiety is important. Consider cognitive-behavioral therapy (cbt) or other forms of counseling. Mindfulness techniques, relaxation exercises, and regular physical activity can also help manage anxiety. Discuss with a healthcare provider if medication for anxiety could be beneficial in your case. Regular exercise: regular, moderate exercise can help reduce stress and improve bowel function. Stay hydrated: ensure you drink enough fluids, especially if you have diarrhea, to prevent dehydration. Monitor and adjust: keep track of your symptoms and how they respond to different treatments and lifestyle changes. This can help in identifying the most effective approach for you. Consider potential medication side effects: sometimes, the withdrawal from certain antidepressants can temporarily worsen ibs symptoms. Discuss with your healthcare provider if this could be a factor in your case. Remember, managing ibs-d often requires a combination of dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, medication, and addressing psychological factors like anxiety. It's important to work closely with healthcare providers to develop a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan.

Kidney pain vs. Back pain because your kidneys are located toward your back and= underneath your ribcage, it may be hard to tell if the pain you’re experiencing in that area is coming from your back or your kidney.

It usually occurs in one side of your body, but it can occur in both sides. Type of pain kidney pain is usually sharp if you have a kidney stone and a dull ache if you have an infection. Most often it will be constant. It won’t get worse with movement or go away by itself without treatment. If you’re passing a kidney stone, the pain may fluctuate as the stone moves. Radiation of the pain sometimes the pain spreads (radiates) to your inner thigh or lower abdomen. Severity of the pain kidney pain is classified according to how bad it is — severe or mild.

Muscle pain may affect one or both sides, but nerve pain usually only affects one side. Radiation of the pain nerve pain may spread to your lower leg. Pain from a muscle usually stays in the back. Severity of the pain back pain is described as acute or chronic based on how long you’ve had it. Acute pain lasts days to weeks, subacute pain lasts six weeks to three months, and chronic pain lasts longer than three months.
