I got really bad migraine headaches (to the point of vomiting) and had what doctor's thought was crohn's disease when I was young (colonoscopy in 4th grade...). Haven't had a migraine or IBS symptoms for 15 years now. Pretty certain both were the result of extreme amounts of childhood stress that I was suppressing/repressing/whatever. I also had acid reflux for a while but that went away too. Now I don't have debilitating headaches when stressed or **** blood thankfully, but my problems are certainly expressed in other ways.
So yes, my mental/emotional problems have been for as long as I remember really...
