My parents are highly toxic people. Living in the house with them was a constant battleground, and screaming matches with Somebody would happen on a day to day basis. Or physical fights. Suffice to say it was a very high stress household.
About 8-9 months ago I began to experience bad digestive/stomach issues. Another symptom was these loud ass grumbles that were so embarrassing. I thought I developed an intolerance, and was restricting/testing with so many foods to figure out what. It was hell.
Around 2 months ago I moved in with my boyfriend. His house is very calm and peaceful in comparison. Unsettlingly so it sometimes feels. Still not quite used to it.
Last week I was thinking "oh huh the stomach grumbles haven't happened yet today.... wait... they haven't happened in weeks"
I think living with my parents was causing the digestive/stomach issues, and now that I'm out of that situation it's seemingly gone away.
