Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | More Sensitive to Motion Sickness after IBS??

I just remembered that I'd wanted to ask this awhile ago.

I've never really had a problem with riding rides and being sensitive in the car, but since my IBS started I've realized I have to be really careful with things like that or they make me feel so sick to my stomach. For instance, I went to Universal Studios with my family last summer and we went on this ride where you're in this big car thing and essentially the car moves a little but you're watching a 3-d movie that makes you feel like you're going all over crazy..well after we were done I felt so sick I spent the rest of the day in the hotel room. I have to be careful in cars and boats to keep my eyes to the front.

So I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has realized that they're more sensitive to things like that since their IBS or am I just weird?

Also just as a side note, I've realized that smells will get me too. A girl in one of my classes always brings in this nut trail mix sort of thing and the smell of all the nuts makes my stomach gurgle and I have to get as far away from her as possible. It's crazy....or am I??
