The abuse was the cause of your IBS but have you gotten the symptoms under control?

Triggers are those things that send you out of control again.
They can be food or stressors in our lives.
Not the stress that you live with from being abused,that's everyday but the stress that you experience when the bills need to be paid or someone pisses you off.

I too was abused as a child by more than one person,I dealt with that over the years and can put it behind me but looking back I realize I have dealt with IBS for many more years than I thought.
My symptoms flare when I become stressed out ie parents divorce,fighting with in laws,birth of children ,emergency surgery etc..

but I also have food triggers.
when not stressed out I can usually eat anything with the exception of a few foods.

There is a difference in triggers and causes I think.
