I used to have irritable bowel syndrome many years ago, but fortunately I was able to keep it under control through diet: basically avoiding greasy foods like fried chicken. I no longer have the problem; I have not had a bout since 1986 and I am not on any special diet (although I don't like many fried foods anyway. I do eat them sometimes.) I have since learned many diseases have a spiritual root. I know it was true for me with irritable bowel. Is it possible you have an inner conflict of some kind? A difficult situation which you feel uncomfortable with? I pray God will lead you and heal you and resolve any conflict you may have.
