Luce!! I have exactly the same reaction when I first go outside into the garden to work. I usually go from a cool house into the warm outdoors. I feel this little cramp and the sensation of having a full gut, but when I go inside to poop it is perfectly normal. The thing is, this is an extra poop. Normally, I do my thing in the morning, and that's it.

I also have the same reaction when I have been inactive for awhile and then get up and throw myself into a flurry of activity. I sweat and poop.

What a lovely topic of converstaion for the next Garden Club meeting!

Love,

Sally

I am not trying to be contrary :wink: but I have an experience with exercising that seems to contradict what's been said above.
When I exercise - either resistance training or running outside in the heat - my gut works very well; the body/brain kind of tends to put the gut on hold until later when it has time to deal with it. I sometimes have a BM after a long run - but I think it is perhaps something I would have had anyway. Back when I was having D around the clock I ran with diapers on in order to be prepared for an accident - back then I had so much gurgling and gas that I was a "ticking bomb". It didn't matter what the temperature was LOL!!

Love,

Karen,
I wonder if the seritonin level is pumping the needed amount to stop the bowels from doing their bad thing. Exercising makes the "motor" run more to perfection. Mmmmmmmm, just a thought?

Yup

And if you remember, the florescent lights definitely are a trigger for migraines, it won't happen EVERY time, so that leads me to believe that in the case of the gluten sensitive, it's a secondary trigger, if that makes any sense.

You guys please help me -- how do you want me to set up the new thread related to this?

Yours, Luce

I see we've been stickied, so guess I don't have to start a new thread....do I???

Karen, one of the things they tell you to do to promote peristalsis is to walk, so I'd imagine the running would make it work even faster if you needed to have a bowel movement. Unfortunately, it also works with D.

What about all the other AI things, like roseacea, M.S., etc.? They're exacerbated by sun, aren't they? Am I missing any others besides those the above messages have mentioned?

Anyone remember that thread on the old board about some of us having our eyes "go funny" when we first try to drive on a sunny, hot day?
It used to make me feel as though I was being put to sleep, and then it would be alright.

Guess I wasn't thinking about the heat in relation to other symptoms other than the restaurant illustration and the eye thing, so now I can't remember about my body pain and swelling. Seems as though I hurt all the time though, and of necessity, I spend lots of time indoors, being a caregiver. Whenever I did go out, I was already in pain, couldn't really note a difference, I guess.

Need to do another post on roseacia, unfortunately.

Yours, Luce

I may be the opposite.

I had a terrible time with heat until I went GF (and my other intolerances).
I find that I can tolerate heat much better now than any other time in my life.

Polly,

I missed the recessive eye color. What?

Yup, I wilt in the heat as well. In fact had D yesterday afternoon after weeding the garden for a couple of minutes. Probably shouldn't have been doing the gardening anyway in my current condition, but Geoff was putting the last of the plants in the ground and there were some weeds that just needed picking.
