Well, you sure came to the right place, Girlfriend!
You've gotten quite a few responses, and I'm sure they're great -- people here are absolutely phenomenal! -- but I haven't read any of the responses, so if I'm repeating anything here, I apologize.
You need to do something about that stress. What kind of exercise are you doing? Yogi is supposed to be excellent (although I couldn't do it!), and if you like it, check out the yoga board here. Any kind of relaxation techniques are really good to help with that stress -- go for walks, dance, knit, whatever you can -- to relieve it.
I was in such a bad shape when I came on the boards, I did the hypnotherapy program. Wow, what a Godsend! Yes, my IBS affected my job (I had to quit) and my relationships (I lost friends over my IBS). But you know, Courtney, a door closes on you and somewhere else a window opens. You just have to be ready to climb in.
Really, I promise you, you WILL get better -- just stay with us here on the boards and read everything you can. Knowledge is power, and you'll have the power to get this under control. I promise.
Bev
