I was re-reading EFI the other day and, although I have read the part where Heather says to engage in light exercise after a meal about a dozen times, I never thought about why this helps with IBS. Does anyone know?

My semi-logical guess is that it helps with digestion, and to get things moving along, if you know what I mean. I know my mom always used to suggest a walk after a big dinner, because she said it would help digestion... and it really did seem to.
