My female Xeena (RIP) used to get stress colitis. My husband traveled and when he was gone it flared up and when he came back it would start to get better...though it seems like it never fully went away. So we went to an Internist and they did a scope and yes, she was diagnosed with IBS. She also had chronic scanky-panc (pancreatitis)...one wrong move and we were in the ER. And of course when scanky-panc flared, her arrhythmias also reared their ugly head...I always felt like I was just a step behind though she had the best care available.
