Often when I am dealing with a rumbling in my stomach and colon, and have gas and bloating, I'll start to feel very warm and break into a sweat. Later, when I've passed the gas or had a movement, I feel better. Does anyone know what this "overheated" feeling is? I just had a colonoscopy a year ago, so I think I'm fine...but I hate the sweaty, weak feeling I so often have.

xoxox, I get this too. Both when I get my vomiting episodes and now, lately, with my D, I get extremely hot and neaseated.

When I need to go when I'm not at home my hands get hot. Weird

i would guess and say it is related to a vasovagal episode in anticipation of a gastrointestinal episode.

xoxox,I totally understand. Often my first clue that an attack is coming is I start to feel lightheaded, dizzy and then hot and cold and clammy at the same time. It's horrible to feel like that and afterwards I feel wiped out

I think it goes with the "IBS" territory [SIGH]Take care...Deborah

A possiblity maybe skin conductance responce to stress and autonomic nervous system arousal.

I don't know what the overheated feeling is caused by, but I get it, too. Sometimes. Not every time.It starts in my hands. Then my face and ears get hot. I start sweating and sometimes I get clammy after the heat passes. It's so weird. I have thought it's anxiety, but then again, I'm not anxious feeling until I have that feeling. Maybe my body knows it's going to have a "severe attack" and is warning me?I go a step farther, though. Instead of the sweating going away I begin to itch all over. I break out in hives. My doctor says this is histamine releasing in my body. Now I take a daily antihistamine (zyrtec, 10 mg) and when this does happen (less frequently since I started the Z) I must take 2 benadrylls or else my eyes will swell shut and my throat will constrict. If my eyes swell shut even after the benadryll you should see me rooting around in my purse for my Epi-Pen. We don't know what causes it. I think it is anxiety related, as I know how awful and how long the pain will last. It wipes me out.

xoxoxI too, get hot sweaty feelings, sometimes before an attack. Also, other kinds of feelings, that something is very wrong. Feel better after D.

Ilove this board I have had that same exact symptons. The stomach pain, weakness, sweats and then diaherra. I've been having this problem for years off and on. I almost feel like I am about to pass out. Does anyone have that feeling also?
