Hi gang, My IBS started about 10 years ago, when I went through a very stressful period (moved far away from home at 19 with a boy with whom I am still madly in love, but who was also 19 and therefore a little difficult). University, relationships and families are so hard for perfectionists like me, so I know that for me the IBS is totally stress related. Right now I'm getting through my first year of grad school, and the first few months were hell on my IBS (new city, very competitive program, riding the subway every morning). When I have bad days I get depressed, thinking that this #!*@% IBS will keep me from doing all the things I want to do in my life. Grr! But thanks to Heather and the rest of you, things are looking up! And that's my story! Laura
