Although I'm stable now (IBS diet, Tummy fiber, probiotics, yoga, and recently-completed 100-day hypnosis program), when I first acquired IBS in mid-2009, I would have really severe attacks (IBS-D) that included nausea and elevated blood pressure and heart rate over several hours, or even a couple of days. Could elevated blood pressure/heart rate be what's causing your sweating/flushing instead of elevated temperature?

Hmm...not sure. My BP, with the exception of when I was pregnant (when it was dangerously high), is good. Last time I took it, it was about 120/60. Not bad for an old fat girl.

Now that you mention it, I have had the occasional problem with my heart racing, but it lasts for literally a few seconds and it happens maybe once a month, if even that often. Had it all my life. I've never noticed it coinciding with feeling hot, but who knows?

Okay, so now I'll carry a thermometer and a blood pressure monitor.
