It's interesting that you should say that, I also grew up in a house full of cigarette smoke, and a mother who stressed very easily. In fact she has Major Depressive Disorder, and was even briefly hospitalized for it when I was about 5 or 6. My parents fought constantly, and separated for awhile when I was young, then finally divorced after my sister and I grew up and left home. I don't know what it is like to grow up in a "relaxed" environment. Jeesh - I almost suppose it's no wonder my intestines are a big bundle of nerves! I always used to consider myself a fairly laid back person, but that's because everything was internalized. I still haven't learned how to un-internalize it - if that's even a word!
-------------------- IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!
