Can I make myself sick instead of getting diarrhea?
So ever since I was little I ve always had a sensitive stomach. After eating certain foods stress etc. I hate it. Its so embarrassing and I get so much pain and sometimes it wakes me up in the night. I ve been to the doctors several times and have had scans but they all said it was nothing. I have to have curry tonight and I know for sure I will get it. I don t want it! I would much prefer to be sick! Can you do this? I won t do it if it will affect my health but seriously diarrhea is the worst. I don t want to eat it but my mum says I have to. Anyway I can prevent it??

First off, I'm not a doctor, and second, I'm not sure about the making yourself sick think, but have you considered that it might be IBS? IBS stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and can be triggered by certain foods or stress. It also causes symptoms such as what you describe. I know because I was almost diagnosed with it at age 9, after experiencing frequent stomach aches, however it turned out to be pure anxiety rather than IBS. You might want to check this out as I think, I don't know though, that it can be treated.
