Do you think you are eating enough for the amount you work out? LIke iron, protein, and things that are good to tonify blood? COuld you possibly have a low RBC count or hypothyroidism. SOmetimes if you work out alot but you don't give your body the proper fuel it will kind of slow down too much. You may not notice it when you are exercising but when you are still. THe section of the book I sent you abuot Qi stagnation, blood stagnation, do you have any other symptoms like dizziness, chest pain. What about cold hands and dry skin?




Overall, I'm eating the right number of calories for my workouts which has been a big accomplishment as they require a lot of calories. I also believe my macro levels are good but my nutrients I'm not sure on since I have changed the type of food I eat to try to help with the IBS. I typically keep track of my calories and the breakdown of those calories but have only recently tracked calories. I'll start fully tracking my nutrients again as well to see if something changed with the new diet.

I experience dizziness occasionally but we are talking probably like 1-3 times per month and it is typically when I don't get enough calories at a given time in the day. I eat constantly and occasionally when I miss a meal or two I might feel a little dizzy. I have always had slightly colder hands than normal but no chest pain or abnormally dry skin.

So, this isn't exactly what you're describing--but here's my experience...
Whenever I get a bad IBS attack, I get unbelievably tired. I can hardly speak due to the level of pain, and I just run back and forth to the bathroom. However, there have been *many* times when I "put myself to sleep." That's the best way to describe it. I yawn and cannot keep my eyes open. It's almost a guarantee that as soon as I can stay out of the bathroom, I am on the couch asleep. My Mom is a nurse and says it's almost like my body's defense to put myself to sleep instead of feel the level of pain. Do you also get sleepy? Or is it just yawning? Sorry if this is totally different and not helpful, but I thought I'd throw it out there for you...
Hope that helps.




Both. Typically, it is just yawning without feeling tired but occasionally I do feel abnormally tired as well. Most of the time I do not get tired.

Did you ever figure this out? i get exactly the same symptoms you're describing. strange yawning (not fatigue like) related to something i ate which acts as predictor of GI symptoms (diarrhea). Seem to experience it sometime after dinner, before bed. When it happens, it means I'll wake v. early w/ nasty lower GI issues. My bowel then needs to clear out completely, before i'll have an appetite and/or feel somewhat normal again.
