Hello everyone, my first post... I went swimming the other day after reading the 'IBS: The First Year' chapter on exercise, and found that it really helped. The day afterwards, my stomach was really flat and I felt good. Joining forces with my Mum, who is trying to lose weight, I've decided to join the gym, and was just wondering if anyone knew of any particular exercises or machines that were best for IBS??

If your gym offeres a yoga class, that is good for IBS. I joined my local YWCA. I walk on the treadmill and lift weights. I haven't noticed any particular machine that is better for the IBS. I just feel better in general after a good work out.
