I don't really have stress at work and/or in my life so I don't know how my IBS developed. I read that it can develop by a trauma to the stomach or by antibiotics. If so, then I fall in the antibiotics category. I get sick about 3 times a year with a cold and really bad sore throat. All I do is call my regular doc so that I can have a 5 day dosage of Zithromax for my throat. That's about 3 times a year. Maybe that's what developed my IBS? An endoscopy in July showed that I had some irritations in my stomach lining which is what was causing my Acid Reflux (my lining has since been repaired), but my IBS symptons started back in April-ish 2006. What I don't get is that if I wasn't born with it and it just came on, why can't I just turn it off?
