Go to beachbody.com. They have these DVD's called yoga booty ballet. It mixes dance (cardio) with yoga to get your booty in shape! It's fun too. The dances are so much fun!
It is great exercise and it helped me lose about 15 lbs two years ago. I still have the DVDs, I just do different exercises all the time. Variety is key to exercise.

I did run for a while but it was so tough on my knee I had to give it up. I found this article on the mayo clinic website http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/runners-diarrhea/AN00376. I would ignore the bit about the no fibre as I think their getting their IF and SF mixed up.
Cycling would be good if you want to do cardio. It easier on the body and the trots are less of a issue.

Isn't that strange it's http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/runners-diarrhea/AN00376. However I just googled runners D and it popped up. Maybe a search of the runners world forum would bring up more suggestions. I did once find a article on the ruunners world site - don't know where it is now - that said in most people runners d subsides the more they run however they never mentioned IBS in the article.
The link I posted does make some interesting points about staying hydrated and avoiding sweeteners.
Mixing in faster runs with a walking on jogging might help. It's called Farklek (no joke) training.

I'm a runner (prefer long distances but normally can't fit in the training time, so more often stick to 10K or so), female, 55, and love it so much! (took it up 5 years ago). C is my problem, so the running helps. But for both C and D problems, the idea as I understand it is to get to a middle ground. Two things that help stabilize both conditions are listening to the Hypnotherapy for IBS CDs, and using Heather's Acacia 100% soluble fibre on a daily basis. I haven't yet managed to listen to all of the hypnotherapy sessions, as my busy lifestyle keeps interfering, but even just listening to them for 20 days or so, from time to time, has had an obvious beneficial effect, and I highly recommend them for the IBS but also for having a positive effect on well-being in general (and some day I WILL get through all of them!). Are you doing either of these two approaches?

I tend to run 3-4 miles but I have to be careful as well. I suffer mainly from Diarrhea and I have to run before I eat or on an empty stomach. I have also taken Mylanta before I run as this tends to bind my up. I am not sure that this is the best approach but it works for me. I have also found that if I push myself too much, I get intestinal cramps etc. Thus I have accepted that I may never be fast but I can complete a run. I just do not run on days in which I am really having difficulty with IBS.
