Hello,I was just wondering if anyone experiences chills and a low grade fever when having a bad IBS day. When I am having a "bad day," i get chills, nausea, and a low grade fever. I feel run down and light headed like I havent eaten in days. I was curious if anyone else felt this way.
Chills with IBS

I have the same problems when I have a IBS episode. I don't really have a fever but I alternate between hot and cold. I also get the dizzy feeling like I have not eaten anything. I have not really found anything that helps alleviate the problem so I'm not very much help sorry
I've also experienced this with a flare up. In fact, I was sitting on the toilet last night thinking I must have a virus because I felt so queasy, sweaty and shivering, with D. But today I know it was just my IBS because I am much better after having gone to the toilet. And yes, I am often light headed too. I wish I knew how to help these symptoms but I think the only way to avoid them is to reduce the intensity of a flare of IBS. Stress is my biggest trigger, so I am focusing on reducing that.

Even a totally normal BM in healthy people can for those with sensitive Vagus nerves set off a response.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vasovagal-syncope/ds00806Some people won't have a full faint, but can feel light headed, hot, cold, sweaty, etc.
Stress is the biggest thing for me too. It can totally trigger an attack and leave me feeling weak and downright miserable. I always think im coming down with a virus and that causes more anxiety for me, and hence more IBS attacks. Oh when will it end?!

I have the same problem. Some days I sit wrapped in a blanket all morning because I can't get warm. I have the nausea too, and sometimes feel like I have a fever, but when I check my temp. it's normal. Strange huh?
