weight doens't seem to have an impact that I know of....
people here were diagnosed and started having symptoms at all ages...
IBS isn't "hereditary" but I have definitely noticed a trend towards stomach issues in people... mom has crohns, my paternal grandmother had a sensitive stomach... looking back I think she had IBS but it was so long ago that they didn't call it that... and what she did to treat it wasn't that different from how I eat now!
I've had stomach problems since childhood, getting worse in my teens, and I started cutting things out because they made it worse when I was in my teens.. and no one listened to me... the oddest part was it is things that are now acknowledged common triggers for IBS!
Good luck!
Oh! posts from yesterday- look back on the board. sometimes we get pages of posts in one day!
