Suggest Treatment For High Stress And Anxiety

Overstimulation of autonomous nervous system.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM.
Have gone through your details.
As you said you have very high levels of stress and anxiety.Stress and anxiety stimulates the autonomous nervous system especially a nerve called vagus.Over stimulation of vagus nerve increases the peristalysis(bowel moments),hence frequency of stool increases and they are usually not well formed.Its not exactly irritable bowel syndrome but it can be termed as mild irritable bowel syndrome at present.
I would advice you to take low dose benzodiazepenes for few days,These drugs lower the level of anxiety and hence will relax vagus.
Start taking a good quality probiotic for a few weeks,this will improve digestion which will lead to well formed stools.
Apart from that
Take large amount of fibres in diet 30-40mg/day.
Eat lots of vegetable and fruits.
Include whole wheat,oat,and brown rice in diet.
Take small meals,Don't take large meals.
Follow up after a week!
Thanks
