maybe families are likely to have multiple members with IBS because of eating habits and life styles. Looking back, I realize that my ex-boyfriend probably had IBS. I did not know what it was, and if he knew he kept it a secret from embarrasment. But, for some reason, he never had a problem telling people that he thought he had colitis ??? (yet never got up the guts to get a colonoscopy ??)
For months into our relationship we spent almost every waking moment together and always ate fastfood, sometimes for all meals during the day. We also would stay up all hours of the night, and I was always stressed from the abusive mind games he would play with me, as he is mentally disturbed. Then I developed IBS.
Coincidence?
Other friends of his would say that they would "catch what he had" after spending too much time togther (as in frequently get Diarrhea or and upset stomach). Were they on the way to IBS, but tummys were stronger and less susceptible than mine, or maybe they got away quick enough?
makes one think...and realize to consciously think of making your OWN healthy choices.
