I am very surprised at the couple people who are casual, open and laid back! Why does your body have IBS symptoms then?

Boy do I wish I knew the answer to that one. Actually, I wish I knew the answer to all of my nuttiness.

I was born with a heart murmur. Why me? I dunno.
I was born with motion sickness which means that I have an inner ear inbalance. Why me? Damned if I know.
I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease in '96 and have always and still have to fight that. Somebody up there doesn't like me?
I had a traumatic colonoscopy that brought on my IBS symptons. What am I? The world's guinea pig?!

Anyway, I've always been the kind of person who's lax, stress free, lets things roll off my back, open minded, if you gotta go you gotta go attitude, etc. which is why I don't understand why I'm always that 1 in 10. Definitely sucks big time. Now as soon as I feel that little flutter in my tummy, I go into anxiety hell wondering how I'm going to get home etc. To describe the feeling, I would have to compare it to the feeling one gets when their in a store and pick up an expensive vase and you almost drop it. That's what I feel as soon as I feel something in my tummy. I believe that a majority of my issues are related to my anxiety that has become more pronounced since this IBS stuff. Sorry if I went off on a tantrum tangent. I'm going nuts!
