Anxiety and panic attacks can affect your
digestive tract by causing various
digestive symptoms including diarrhea.
That is called irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS). But before blaming anxiety and IBS
for your diarrhea, some other conditions
should be excluded first. Intestinal
infection can be checked first so you may
need to do microbiological examination of
the stool (copro culture).

Does your vitamin have iron in it? This
can cause stool to turn dark green in some
people.

Loestrin Fe can cause clay-colored stools
(because of the iron) but not diarrhea.
Adivan can't cause diarrhea too.
If diarrhea continues you should do
copro-culture to exclude intestinal
infection.

Can you stop looking into your stools
every time you have bowel movement?
There are much more pleasant things to
look in.

That's odd

I keep tabs on my stools all the time. I
have had IBS since childhood, then went
into colitis and now headed for Chrones
desease. I report any sugnificant changes
to my doctor. I don't think I have OCB at
all. I just keep want to make sure my diet
is correct for Colitis, because now
everything is starting to run right
through me. I also have two diverticuli at
the end of the decending colon.
Does that make sense?
