Unlike the article and other posters in this thread, I have an entirely biological viewpoint on the matter. I think there is ample reason for GI disturbances to exist from chronic chemical insult from tens of thousands of compounds present in our food for which our bodies did not evolve to tolerate. I think the experience of stress over the matter is a natural consequence of disturbances in normal organ functionality. The same stress happens when other organs have issues. What is the purpose of psychological stress if not to motivate the organism for change and a need for adaptation? With what I have learned in the past 10 years of medicine and biology I am almost thoroughly convinced that every single thing is physical and some day will have far better solutions that make people drastically more capable resilient and stable and so many practices and denominations that exist today will be archiac antiquity.
