Re: Family predispositions...       11/27/09 11:23 AM Edit Reply Quote Windchimes Reged: 09/05/09 Posts: 581 Loc: Northern California No, IBS is not a 'mental illness' per se. It is a 'brain-gut' reaction to earlier family (or outside) dysfunctions and stressors. Mental illnesses are an actual disease of the brain, though it's possible even those came from family dysfunction in origin as opposed to actual genetic pre-disposition. I really don't have all of the answers, though I'm getting the 'gist' of it all from Dr. Sarno's book 'The Divided Mind'. So much of our lives are run by the subconscious past experiences, and there is not as much available to us in the conscious mind even if we have a good memory. I wish I could offer you more, but at this time I really can't. It's simply my take based on my own experience(s) and what I am presently reading. -------------------- Senior female, IBS-D, presently stable thanks to Heather & Staff Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
