Yes, I think you're on the right track about the relation between stress hormones and IBS. I, like you, had a year of severe emotional stress (let's just say that writing a yearlong thesis and applying to PhD programs and for international grants were the LEAST stressful things about that year). This was followed by secondary PTSD. Then just as the PTSD started to get better, I developed IBS. Most of the major stress is gone now, but still isolated stress triggers my attacks even when I've been stable, eating properly, and sleeping enough. Let us know how your research goes! And if you happen to invent a drug to help IBS-A, I'd be the first to buy it!
