Machair Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Has anyone noticed that if they sit outside in the hot sun for any length of time it causes GI symptoms? I rarely sit in the sun as I know it is bad for dysautonomia, but if I do sometimes it invariably causes panic and bowel urgency which is loose and not the normal constipation. I have a theory that it is caused by the blood rushing to the skin to cool the body leaving nothing left for the gut. It is especially worse if I eat in the sun too. Anyone else have this?

MTRJ75 Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Not GI symptoms specifically, but sun exposure causes whole body muscle cramps and aches for me, which then in turn causes extreme sweating. If I'm dealing with muscle aches or exhaustion BEFORE the sun hits me, it's pure h*** afterwards. Especially if it's earlier in the day. The hotter the worse.

Pistol Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 @Machair if I am exposed to heat or sun I become nauseated. No diarrhea or anything like that, just sick to my stomach, and it happens pretty quick after being out in the sun. I always thought this was due to a drop in BP.
