I'm not sure where to post this (sorry its in the wrong spot, I put it under lifestyle also):
Anyone experience this before an attack?
I usually have in the mornings when I wake up or when I'm really tired (like clothes shopping...hate it!), I get the tingling in my feet and hands, hot, sweaty and nausea.
In the mornings I get D, but when tired I may just feel these symptoms without having to go to the bathroom.
I've seen an neurologist and he didn't find anything.
Just curious.

It is not uncommon for IBSers to also suffer from fibromyalgia. The symptoms include fatigue and numbness or tingling sensations in the hands and feet. When my IBS was at its worse I suffered from fibromyalgia which slowly cleared up after a number of years by paying close attention to managing my IBS symptoms.

Interesting. I would classify the tingling though as painful. But I find my nerves are very sensitive. Sometimes my my skin is tingling...I can't even describe how it feels...not pins and needles painful, but pins and needles with gentle pressure.

wow...that's interesting. I never would have thought a food allergy/intolerance would cause those symptoms!
I've been tested for celiac and it came back negative (3 weeks ago).
Although I've been told by a homeopath that I am allergic to wheat and dairy and that I can't eat potatoes and any other grain (rice millet etc) within 8 hrs of each other. I cut it out for about 2 months last year and my symptoms were the same IBS-A mostly D.

Do u know your blood type? If youre type 0 it means you shouldnt be eating grains anyway...just protein and vegetables. you may also have a gluten intolerance even though you tested neg - maybe cut it out & see what happens?

Yes, if you could post some more blood types. I'm A though. How could I figure out if I'm really alergic to gluten...is there another test? or just cut it out and see if I feel better?
