It's amazing the things attributed to IBS or that IBS effects. I have a young friend who has suffered w/ IBS for about 3 years - could not find any definite food triggers - just hit and miss. She married about 2 years ago and just recently had a lot of gyno tests, one in particular, for endometriosis - very invasive, but outpatient. They found a falopian tube totally blocked and endometriosis everywhere. After scraping/burning (whatever they do now) all the endometriosis out of her system, she has not had one IBS attack!
Me, at the opposite end of the spectrum (much older:-), am finding even though I was told I was in menopause 10 years ago, the last 2 - 3 years things have worsened as far as IBS and anxiety. So, I think its safe to safe hormones play a major factor in IBS.
