Hi,
I was "officially" diagnosed with IBS-D two months ago. The problem right now I'm facing is that I am an extremely active person. I run daily, and play a sport regularly. I know that running can make diarrhea worse. However, at the same time, my morning runs are not primarily about exercise -- they are more about a stress relief and to get my day started. So, I really don't want to give them up. I was hoping that other people who run could give some advice with this that might help with morning D. I take a dose of acacia right before bed, which helps somewhat, but I still end up having some d some of the times. I'm not looking for a "magic answer," and I know that less strenuous exercise might be it, but I figured I would just put it out there and see the responses I might get from the boards. Thanks so much!
