Swimming

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

  • Having autism makes us more sensitive to certain things so it could be that you're hyper sensitive, which would explain a lot.

    I'm hypersensitive to the cold and my immune system the same. I don't do as well in cooler weather.
