How many people eat too fast? I sometimes don't even chew.
How many grind their teeth or bite nails? I grind really bad, actually I clench. As soon as I got teeth I clenched them. I wear a mouthguard but still clench with a lot of force. No nail biting, but I do fidget.
Who here describes themself as nervous in social situations or tends to get stressed or worried about things like that? I get stressed around people- not in a scared of people sort of way. In fact public speaking isn't a problem for me. It is more of the little day to day getting along with people and finding things to say and watching people be annoying/unaware and that sort of thing. It is pretty severe. Much rather be at home with cats.
How many grew up not wanting to answer nature's call, either number one or two? I went 36 hours without peeing when I was about 11 because I wouldn't go at school and I stayed over at a friend's and was embarrassed. I only feel comfortable at home for #2 but have to try to get over that at work. I even backpack and that (pooping on throne in woods in the open) is easier than at work or other public place. It either has to be empty or very busy for me to be able to go. I try but just can't.
Do you think you would not have IBS so bad if you had gotten used to going to the bathroom whenever you feel like it without any embarrassment? This is just my feeling about my own situation. I grew up very ashamed about human private matters. I wish we didn't evacuate waste or reproduce the way we do!  I think all the holding it has definitely affected me and it doesn't really go away.
Is anyone here super casual about that kind of thing?
Is anyone laid back, moves and eats slowly and never really worries?
I am very surprised at the couple people who are casual, open and laid back! Why does your body have IBS symptoms then?
I have never had eating disorders or a problem with food. I have often been 10 pounds overweight but never more over or under.
Thanks for the responses!!!

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
