Hi,
I posted this to the living room, but I thought maybe you yoga people might have some insight into this.

Have you noticed, as I have, that your breathing seems connected to IBS attacks?

When I'm having an attack I'm often short of breath, and breathing shallowly. I always wonder, if the cramping in my stomach is causing me to flex fwds which constricts my breath OR what I think is more likely, that my shallow breathing and sometimes held breath is one factor in bringing on an IBS attack.

I've noticed this since I was a kid - but somehow never was curious enough to really investigate it until now. I'm paying a lot of attention to my breathing lately...I could be completely off base on the ibs connection, but it certainly can't hurt to improve my breathing either way.
Let me know what you think,
Dan
