Weird thing last night. Yesterday afternoon, I did an advocated SUP lesson and the instructor really got me working my core muscles.
Then in the evening win the way back, we stopped at Pizza Express at Cobham services on the M25. I was prepared to spend the rest of the trip back in pain, because I pretty much always get abdominal pain after eating a meal.
But it didn't hurt. I felt full, but without pain, and this is a vanishingly rare experience for me. Eating = pain. It's always been like that, and I basically expect it.
Except not last night.
Meanwhile this morning, I have massive stiffness in my abdominal muscles.
Kinds feels like too much to be mere coincidence.

I have tried elimination diets. I know my worst trigger foods, but ultimately FOOD = PAIN, and there appears to be nothing I can do about it.
Exercising beforehand won't work. I'll just opt for hypoglycaemia as the path of least resistance.
SUP = Stand Up Paddleboard

in reply to Sarah Brown • • •That’s an interesting observation. I have mild IBS as part of the bundle of fun that is fibromyalgia, and tai chi seems to have lessened the severity of it.
Whilst tai chi is very core-focused, it wouldn’t be anywhere near as high impact as your SUP session.
