When I was pregnant I had no issues like this at all! Certain smells and food were the only thing that made me feel sick. In all honesty my pregnancy was a cake walk compared to what I go through every month now.

It is absolutely very frustrating and I think that our phobia is what makes it seem so bad. We get even the hint of a stomach issue and that sets the mind rolling whether we are aware of it or not. Then making everything much worse.

Tea is another thing that works quite well your right! I have one its green tea with I think white tea mixed in. Very good its by celestial seasonings. Do you get horrendous cravings for sugar too? I can easily eat cookies and things like that by the case load when this is going on. And sometimes that is all I can manage to eat. It seems like when the anxiety is at its worst cookies/candy are the only things I can eat consistently with out a problem.
