<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> When I was told I had irritable bowel syndrome the doctor explained to me that it was a psychosomatic manifestation of my stress. She then advised me to do more exercise to get rid of my stress, gave me some pills to take away the pain, and tried to send me home. When I interrupted her to explain that IBS is not caused by stress, *it is the cause of my stress*, she rolled her eyes and repeated herself two octaves louder. So I went home. http://www.jensglutenfreeblog.com/gluten-free-health/irritable-bowel-syndrome-ibs-and-gluten-intolerance/ -- Jennifer Ungar www.jensglutenfreeblog.com *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List* Archives are at: Http://Listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?LIST=CELIAC
