I have never heard of anything like that but if your spine is curved at like a 75 degree angle it can effect your breathing. But that rarely happens.

Yes it can, I was diagnosed w/ scoliosis at the age of 10. I wore a back-brace for years, recently (I am now 27), I went to my doctor due to Back pain. I have always had stomach issues but never thought the two problems were related until my doctor suggested taking x-rays. I was told that my curve is putting pressure on my bowels and colon, (squishing them), so food and waste are travelling through a smaller area than they should be. She told me I should be eating several smaller meals a day rather than 3 large ones, chew very thoroughly and eat slowly, but suggested I start seeing an orthopedist again for the pain and possible bowel/colon complications. The change in diet has helped somewhat but I am making an appointment with a specialist and will let you know any information I gather but I suggest you speak with a Dr. since they can be related and you can have complications from it. Hope I helped, Good Luck
