Hi all. I have always had this fear to an extent, but lately it has been debilitating. Last fall I began to suffer from random bouts of waking in the middle of the night nauseous, and soon could barely eat because of it. Now, though I am trying a diet to help reset my body, I am scared all the time. I used to wake up in the middle of the night feeling sick, so now I feel like every night I can't go to sleep until I've passed the time that I normally would wake up, even though this hasn't happened in months, I lose sleep over it every night. I have IBS-C and reflux, so my stomach is often a bit off. I don't trust my body, so every slight movement of my stomach has me on high alert.
I also work in a preschool, so avoiding the germs is hard and every day is a battle. Any time I hear that a bug might be going around, or if I hear that someone got sick, I feel as though I don't want to leave my house or see anyone.
To top it off, my husband and I would like to have kids in the near future. I really do want to have kids, but I’m so terrified of nausea/being sick and the potential of it happen for pregnancy.
I'm so tired of living with this fear.
Hi, my name is kmbaker. I'm here because I am currently eating low FODMAP for nausea and IBS-C. I used to deal with disordered eating, body image issues, food and exercise and am struggling with that now that I am dealing with the diet and IBS. I am a very anxious person and have now added anxiety toward illness, vomitting, nausea, and food in general. I am feeling very confused and alone in this.

Hi, my name is momma868789. I have to live daily with many medical issues. I have fibromyalgia, CKD stage 3, Venous Reflux Insufficiency, micro valve prolapse, coratid artery disease, aorta aneurysm in my upper stomach and many allergies. I also have IBS. Many foods and medications trigger it constantly.
