My mom found this article in Shape magazine and sent it to me so I figured i'd share..

"unassertive people may be more likely to develop irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a common gastrointestinal disorder that affects more women than men. Aggravated by stress, it causes abdominal pain, constipation and/or diarrhea. Most people who have IBS are submissive and nonassertive, says jefferey lackner, PsyD. They have difficulty making their own needs known to others and being firm."

then they go on to suggest that cognitive therapy can help..
