I just found out I have Marrow Reconversion and my doctor is stumped. How likely is it that my horrible IBS is the culprit?

In all honesty, RunRevolutionary9019, I have minimal training in Marrow Reconversion. The one thing that comes to mind that it has in common with IBS is stress as a trigger. Do you have a particularly stressful lifestyle? Again, tough to draw any definitive conclusions without your medical history, labs, etc., but I would advise looking at your stress levels and cortisol.

I was very stressed for years but things have calmed down thankfully.

Glad to hear it! Stress really is a killer! The longer cortisol levels are elevated for, the more havoc this can wreak on the body. Imagine being in a constant state of stress - this takes a toll on the body and manifests itself in various forms.

You have no idea. My life sucked. I’m still stressed because at this point I am always waiting for the next shoe to drop I’m so traumatized by it all.

I very much appreciate a candid answer like this to the bullshitting that a lot of people would do.
