Breaking the pattern of anxiety causing flare up by changing her mindset. Make her more comfortable with the diagnosis. Identify a plan for when she has flare ups in public. Let management know about her condition and put interventions in place. Possible hybrid/remote working, access to disabled toilets etc. Put interventions in place for meals out. Make sure the restaurant has suitable options for her, consider takeaway options.

-find more feel good and nutritious meals that don’t trigger her


-recommend a support group where she can share experiences and the group can support and relate to one another


-Ask her about her lifestyle and how active she is


-Do her friends know the severity of her condition? She sounds like she needs emotional support from friends.


-her workplace may need to be made aware of her condition to allow her to either work from home or make her office space more accessible with her condition

Going forward looking at this regularly to find any correlations between what she’s eating, when a flare up happens, how often it happens, and how much pain she is in would help to figure out how to handle these symptoms if one occurs, for example, at work.
