I do second and third the fact that IBS is worsened for some people by temperature changes. I notice that if I have to do anything outside in the hot weather, it bothers my IBS immensely. Our mini-staycation is at the end of July and it involves being outside most of the day in the heat, and in the past I have downed tubs of Imodium just to cope. It'll be interesting to see how I handle it this year.
It's one reason why I hate to see it warm up. I personally am not affected by hot-to-cold temps, but cold/temperate-to-hot really bothers me, and hot/humid weather totally messes my gut up. I don't know HOW I made it through when we had no A/C in the house for several years.
But nope...it isn't all in anyone's head, but rather in their guts.
