So I'm having a flare up of my Crohn's disease today. Had really bad stomach pain and diarrhea all night and all today (it's now 3pm).
Yesterday, I went to a friend's and was lucky enough to use their swimming pool. A real one off.
However, I noticed last time I went to the swimming baths I had a flare up of my IBD the day after.
Do I find swimming particularly stressful do you think? Does anyone else experience this bodily response to swimming?
It could be good related, but just seems so coincidental!
I'm so frustrated, I just want to get on with life but my body always reacts to things and makes me incapacitated
Tha is guys, think it might be that. I didn't drink any particularly, but may have ingested a bit. This happened before so perhaps, being as I am very sensitive to chemicals, it could have triggered me
Yes I think it's highly likely the trigger here.
Just breathing in the chlorine will be enough to be honest. I've found that before.
