Re:Re: digestive tract spasms and exercising

[Guest guest]

thanks kim. wow that sucks. i was just getting excited to do some

cardio probably for the first time in my life. i do feel better in

other areas tho' since started. so maybe i'll keep doing it but just

watch my pacing and see how that goes. sorry about your neurological

issues... having digestive issues is bad enough... i hope you'll

return to good health!

I have had to learn to pace myself, stop doing any exercise that

focuses on my abdomen or that tires me out. I walk regularly now

instead of jog or do Pilates. I still do a bit of yoga, but can't do

most of the poses. With my neurological issues that have developed

the past two years, I feel grateful when I can even handle a walk

around the block without suffering!

I've also seen emails from people who are able to resume strenuous

exercise after they've healed. As always, it depends on your

particular digestive disorder and your own body and at what stage your

healing has progressed to.

for a while. Try a run in a few months and see if it's any better.
