I was reading information on the internet about agoraphobia. I think I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) because my stomach has been hurting for years especially after I eat. Anyways, I read that if you have IBS and an anxiety disorder, it can cause you to get panic attacks and for you to have agoraphobia.

I'm going to change my diet and do more yoga. Hopefully it helps with me not wanting to go out into public. I don't worry about people looking at me but I got so scared of getting sick in public that I just stop going. So maybe if you change your diets, it will help all of you.

I know not everyone is the same. You can find recipes online. Changing your diet can also make you feel like a new person. Also, I found a link of a woman who has IBS and made recipes and information on what you can do.

I really hope this information helps for some of you. I never knew that IBS could cause agoraphobia until few minutes ago.

Below is the link that I read about IBS causing agoraphobia. Read the information for the question "What should I do if I have IBS"
