Re: Exercise and IBS       04/12/06 01:53 PM Edit Reply Quote sandied Reged: 03/18/06 Posts: 6 Loc: Millersville, MD I have IBS and was also separately diagnosed with spinal arthritis... to help the arthritis I went to physical therapy three times a week and started an intense exercise plan to strengthen my back and abdominal muscles. I now do ~200 chrunches of various types each evening... it has greatly reduced my back pain but the awesome dividend is that it also helps with my IBS. Some of the exercises include using a large blown-up ball about 2 1/2 feet in diameter... on nights that my abdomen is really bloated and sore I lie over the ball and roll around and it really helps. I also found that after my back exercises I would put ice on my back and a heating pad on my abdomen and the heat really soothed any stomach cramps and pain also. I think that having firmer and flatter abs has helped to hold my whole bowel-area better and allows me to control the gas and spasms... I also have better posture and that helps with pain too.
