This is very interesting. I wonder if anyone in the Living Room has had a similar experience. You could post there too. There are generally more experienced IBS people there. Or you could do a poll about crunches and exercise in general...how it affects IBS.
Maybe I'll have to experiment at some point. I'm having surgery for rectal prolapse in 2 weeks (yea!!), so I'm not changing anything before that. I'm just maintaining for now and see how much improvement that causes. But I won't be able to do crunches while I recover, so I guess that's when I can test it.
