I'm not the best person to advise (this board is full of experts and I'm not one of them), but I would imagine
1) any kind of heavy lifting and straining probably can aggravate IBS. I know if I have to do anything particularly strenuous part way through my stomach decides it has enough and kind of flips out. Again - other people will know more, as this is just me.
2) I think this is a toughy! I would guess it does have to be affected by what you call external stressors, however, as sometimes your own subconscious can aggravate the condition I guess it's external and internal factors! However, I don't think it would be classed as a detiorating disease - it is influenced by other things. Although, as we all know some days your stomach is just determined to have a bad day!
You need better advise than mine on this one, but they're my thoughts anyway :)
