It will be interesting to see if there is any change in my digestive issues. I tried to get some advice about dealing with constipation following the op from the surgeon, but he spoke over me before I'd even finished asking and just said if I had constipation, it had nothing to do with g/s. (Since heard he's not liked, not surprised!)

I understand that organs in the body do not work independently and in isolation. If you have problems in one area, there will be effects elsewhere. That's why if you have emotional issues, it will affect you physically as well. Alternative health practitioners look at the body holistically, yet medical doctors tend to specialise and have little knowledge beyond that speciality. If they can't find anything from whatever tests they do, you are cast adrift or as in my case last year, start talking about vague conditions like CFS. (Stands for something's going on but I haven't got a clue!)

Yes I have noticed how low I get when I have a bad IBS episode. While an alternative therapist explained about serotonin production in the gut being affected, the GP was ready to push ADs. When things improve physically, my mood will improve. Just knowing my low mood is actually a physical symptom and temporary helps me ride it out. ADs have side effects and I believe inappropriate in my case.
