Thanks, Syl, for your prompt response here. This is helpful.
I will say that stress IS a big trigger for me. Unlike those who run to frig or cupboards when feeling stressed, I am one who has absolutely no appetite at all. If I force myself to eat something solid, I'm in abdominal pain until the food explodes out the other end only partially digested. Yuk!
When feeling stressed, I am better off relaxing, listening to calm instrumental music, praying, meditating, and taking in liquids only... these days that being peppermint tea and hot chicken broth with some fresh ginger in it. I have found this works well for me until the crisis is over, and then I can eat again absent the physical miseries.
Thanks again for the further info.
