Because if your really shitting for your life, your gonna sweat a lot doing. Makes sense to take your top off to avoid. And it can be more comfortable

I have IBS and have occasional episodes of "shitting for my life," but after my most recent session, my daughter informed the rest of the family, "Mom was up in the middle of the night fighting demons." Whatever you call it, the sweating is intense.

I have severe IBS but no sweating is usually involved. It all comes out way too easily, in fact.

I have IBS-C, which means I do not clear out all waste each day, and it begins to build up, and then my guts basically convulse when it gets too built up, and it comes out quickly but not "easily" -- much gut cramping and sweating are involved.

But if you remove all your clothes because you sweat, you are still going to smell sweaty after you put them back.

LOL. Fortunately, I have very little body odor. These episodes often hit me in the wee hours of the morning, I just strip sweaty shirt off and put on a dry one.

You described exactly what I think happens to me. How do you fight this? Does having enough fiber help alleviate that inevitable build up?

So uncomfortable when the “guts convulsing” part happens 😅

Fiber and fluids. My doc also suggested taking a laxative once a week.
