I have really started thinking that all of my sensitivities, diseases and disorders are due to a sensitive system. I have allergies-hypersensitivity to allergens; asthma-hypersensitivity to environmental and exercise triggers; IBS-hypersensitivity to food, stress, coffee and booze(wahhh!!); and GERD-sensitive wimpy esphageal sphincter, likely CAUSED by asthma. The asthma, is also often caused by GERD.
All that being said, how many of you have asthma too? allergies? GERD? I want to see if our systems are even more alike than previously thought...Is there a connection?
The other sensitivities I've noted in this survey are:
HSP,
obviously fibro and anxiety (I do have my anxious moments, for sure),eczema (had that too)
migraines (have had my share of those, but better now on Heather's diet)
TMJ
and tooth grinding.
What a healthy bunch!

I don't have a lot of allergies... just mold and mildew. However, I do have GERD and excercise-induced asthma.

I have asthma, but it was way worse when I was little, I was in the hospital a lot. Now, it's only when I'm around cats usually....
As for allergies, again, better now. but it depends on the season. Lately I've had no troubles, but when I lived at home with my parents, I got sinus infections a lot, triggered by allergies. They had an OLD house.
I'm also allergic to peanuts, penicillin, morphine and cats!

I have allergies: dust and cats and asthma but not very bad. I take nasonex, advair, singulair. I don't have GERD at all. I also have TMJ which is very common with IBSers and I get stressed in social ways which is also common.
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

to this day I go in there feeling happy because it's a place to get better. I always have positive feelings about hospitals.
my allergies are so severe this season due to pollen and GRASS!
