Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hey,

Can't answer your question about specific exercises that are best (or worse) for you. Hopefully someone else can answer that part.

However, I will comment on your observation that lots of folks on here talk about GAINING weight. Because food can trigger an attack, or just make you feel crappy, there are some of us that struggle to eat enough to maintain a healthy weight. i.e. I lost 15 pounds in one month 'cause I just didn't want to eat anything solid. 'Cause it caused so much discomfort afterwards (or had the potential to cause discomfort). Some folks are right at the point of being UNDERweight. So if you see talk about ways to GAIN weight on the EFI diet, that's where it's probably coming from.

As for whether IBS is directly linked to obesity or just being overweight, I don't know. Haven't heard that, but you could check out the "IBS Research Library" posts to see what you can find.
