Yeah, that's my issue; stress is a somewhat nebulous thing that's hard to directly quantify and therefore it can be a kind of "catch all" for nearly anything.

I'm not saying that stress doesn't have effects, but I think a diagnosis based on "stress" can often be reductive; who doesn't feel some stress throughout the day?
- apwell23 2y ago> stress is a somewhat nebulous thing So is IBS. I am not sure its fair to expect precise diagnosis for a nebulous "disease".
- cladopa 2y agoActually, "stress" is extremely easy to measure: You have stress, you have specific hormones in your bloodstream. Those hormones change things in your body, like redirect the blood in your body contracting or extending blood vessels. >who doesn't feel some stress throughout the day? It is a quantity thing, you can feel stressed during seconds, or during hours or during entire days. For example, in a war when your family members could die at any moment, you feel stress for days. In you live in peace you just don't have an idea what that means. I have not lived war myself but I had close contact with people in Ukraine and in the past conflicts like Congo or Central Africa Republic and other African wars. Stress effects were obvious for people living in farms. Animals like hens can stop laying eggs or cows stop giving milk just by stress alone.
