Sheryl, yes, my sisters and I are beginning to think that it may be heredity but neither my parents or grandparents on my fathers had it. We don't know about our grandmother on my mothers side, and of course the doctors all say there is not proof that heredity factors can be proven. Yes, to a degree I agree that excessive stress can bring on an attack. I should also mention that I have Divictalitis (sp?) as does one of my sisters. So when we get an attack it's a double whammy!
Do you take any meds for yours? They had given me meds a couple of years ago, and God I thought I was dying when I tried them, so needless to say, I stopped them. It is so sad when a little dog has it, the poor things can't say what they are feeling. I wouldn't wish this crap on my worst enemy! It's like once you get it, your stuck with it for life.

Or maybe a severe illness like the poor little chi . Or I bet heredity can also be a cause . With me , mine started around the time my divorce hit. Definite stress. I still have the stress of being a single mom , so still have the IBS. Your life sounds wonderful to me btw !! : ) Sheryl Sent from my iPhone
