There have been a lot of posts about this, if you try doing a search I'm sure you'll come up with some. I find exercise such as running and ab workouts make my D worse, but my body adjusts to it the more I do it. Ab workouts seem to help in the long term with doing other forms of exercise, as my stomach muscles are stronger and used to movement and strain.

Another thing is to make sure you are eating/drinking properly. Don't over-drink during exercise as this will cause more D. I tend to try to drink well before my workouts, so that my stomach is not full of liquid when I am exercising. Only sip at water to relieve dryness in your mouth while you exercise. Then keep hydrated by drinking small amounts often the rest of the day. Also try to eat something safe, and a small amount, about 45 mins before working out. Having an empty stomach will make things worse.

Hope that helps,
