Irritable Bowel, Take 2
In contrast to times that I have suffered from Nausea and Lightheadedness, diarrhea and cramping generally occurs during the day. Lower left abdominal pain is minimal and there is generally only a mild discomfort in this area and a tremendous urge to have a bowel movement. Once voided, the stool is extremely loose, the urge to go passes, and cramping is minimized. On occasion, the urge for a bowel movement reoccurs within the hour, but the diarrhea quickly abates.
Again, a number of disorders can be related to such symptoms. In my case it seems to be related to significant physical exercise at the wrong time in my digestive cycle combined with additional, and as yet unknown, issues. For example, my irritable bowel syndrome might makes me more susceptible to this. Symptoms generally appear within 2 hours of significant exercise if I exercise within 90 min of my mid day meal. At this point, I consider these symptoms related to vicissitudes of my genes and age combined with inappropriate timing of my exercise.
