Tummy troubles
Tummy ache
This is normally the result of abusing your digestive system with too many junk foods, but can also be caused by anxiety and stress, as part of IBS.
What can you do? Keep a food diary to establish links between symptoms and certain foods. Drink fennel or peppermint tea to soothe the gut. Your GP can also prescribe anti-spasmodic drugs or peppermint oil capsules, such as Colpermin.
When to worry If the pain becomes more severe and you have a fever or can't hold down fluids, seek medical help.
