Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | use IBS as a reason to exercise

I think your C would improve with exercise and the resulting increased water. I have to exercise or I don't feel as good and don't sleep as well. Doing the duathlon was a way to push myself from exercising often to being an athlete. I haven't really lost weight but have toned a lot. There were all sorts of figures and ages at this event! So everyone can do it. You might find something in your area that will give you incentive to keep exercising. Even a 5k run/walk or something.
I always exercise in the morning. I get so bloated later in the day I would feel too yucky to work out. Luckily I can eat breakfast and exercise within 30 minutes (meanwhile I go to the bathroom).
I think the race brought my cold back and I may have a sinus infection. DH is fighting the cold too. I felt somewhat better today but was so lethargic and weak. I was digging potatoes and had no energy to do it. I think I might get a B12 shot tomorrow. I am going backpacking next week and need to feel ok again.

--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
