I must admit that sex tends to falre up my IBS big style and make me more emotional as well. I thought this was because I was raped as a child and sex has alwyas been a bit loaded as a result. I would be interested to know if people who haven't had experiences of sexual abuse also feel worse after sex.

oh i got this wrong too - fms fog today. No it doesn;t flare up my IBS but does flare my FMS pain and mood swings big time. sorry

i had sexual abuse a child & was raped in 07 in my own home by a so called friend that really loved me! raped me while i was sleeping on ambian!
i have had lots of other sexual tramas from childhood! but it has not effected my desires
but i think i was confused= that sex meant the person really loved you! & was a commitment! & that caused stress/flare!

i have been celibet for 3yrs! really waiting for the right person that does love me & not just for sex! i have changed my diet too! & i still have flares= so i vote for sex anyway! YAHHHH!
ITS WORTH IT! so really good for "US" if its in a loving giving way!

back on true topic sex gives me a closeness that gives me great endorphines & eases my pain!
yet i do get fatiqued if i over do it w/ projects before or after! so i have to limit activity! & of coarse not for me anyway no swinging on chandlers!
never had it flare my IBS/Chrones it actual helps me to stay regular! lol pushs everything around & in working order!!
have you had gyno check=up= you migt have weak intestanl lining! Unless again there is a stressful reaction you are not being forced or intimadatd/forced into having sex! that would flare up your stress!=IBS!
