This is a interesting article. What I understand from the article is that they

are saying that Headachs cause GI symptoms.

" The strong ties between frequent headache and frequent GI complaints raises

questions about common mechanisms that make headache sufferers predisposed to GI

complaints, Aamodt also noted. "

Could it be though that people with GI symptoms have more headachs?

That sounds more logical to me than headachs causing the GI problems.

Just my two cents worth

It does sort of sound like they're saying that the headaches are the

cause, but I think what they really mean is that there may be something

else that causes both the headaches and the GI problems. Note the

" raises questions about common mechanisms " part.

Well GI problems can easily lead to dehydration, and when I'm dehydrated I often get a headache. Also, some of the UC meds can give you a headache (such as azulfidine).Marie
