Dear TheNovaStarr:

I’ve suffered from IBS from many years, and I know that there is  a close connection between ongoing, elevated anxiety/ stress levels and digestive and intestinal dysfunctions, such as GERD and IBS. And so, the first line of defense is lowering your anxiety/ stress level. You probably know of this connection and recommendation.

Please feel free to elaborate on this item and on any of the other items of struggles that you mentioned. I will be able to read and reply to you further when I am focused next, which will be Thurs morning my time, in about 15 hours from now (assuming that I will have internet access at that time).
