Stress seems to be a trigger that affects my GI tract and sleep patterns. I'm beginning to believe my last severe flare up was a direct result from high stress for a long period of time. I was having major sleep problems due to the anxiety from the stress, and eventually my body broke down.

Stress and anxiety is a big factor for me, last weekend was really busy for me and i am still trying to recover.

I agree that stress plays a major factor in my flares. I try to think good thoughts and avoid the stress. The older I get, the better I am getting at saying no and listening to my body tell me to slow down.

What am I talking about..... I am helpiing 1st and 2nd graders frost 160 cupcakes today. LOL

I agree as well. Antibiotics didn't help at all, but I feel like most of my last flare was due to terrible stress. Things have started to improve with lessening of the stressful situations so..
I hope you're having the same results. I know it's not a good feeling at all to be stuck in that rut.

Stress is a huge factor.. the feeling of my guts clenching from nerves is awful because I know that it doesn't just end there.. "normal" people can get butterflies and then move on; us CDers end up with so much more...
