Gerikat... What I have come to realize in my own life path is that anytime something stressful tugs on that same part of my brain that experienced a prior stressor, my intestines react. The cause seemingly started this (internalization, imploding... whatever the 'experts' call it!), but the end result is the very same!!!
I fortunately was never sexually abused, though my father was an alcoholic and dinnertime was always a stressful time for me. He physically abused my mother, and when mad at the dinner table would even go so far as to throw food against the wall and break dishes. I can see that my IBS started around age 5, and thus the reason why I cannot tolerate food when I feel stressed, just like I did back then as a child.
The cause and effect are to me OBVIOUSLY linked! Thank you for your input.
My very best to you and others in controlling the stress in their personal lives today as much as possible, and learning how to eat things that do not offend the original damage.
