Is this a spiritual connection...or something else?

I usually have lower abdominal pain and diarrhea every now and then, i concluded that its ibs but who knows ..my dr appointments in june. Well, every time i have these cruxial stomach pains, my bf literally takes it from me... Like just being in my presence and being aware that my stomach hurts ...his starts hurting and mine stops. What is this? Id like to believe its a spiritual connection of some sort but it happens every time.
