Heat as a trigger of a flare up

I developed lately a kind of sensitivity of heat. Last Friday, I was cooking food for my family and that included deep frying. I felt sudden severe pain in my terminal ileum, however, I continued cooking. Immediately after, I had severe pain and this threw me into a flare up. The next day I was very sick and had to curl in bed. On Sunday, I became sick again during the middle of the day and then things went on well. Yesterday, I was cooking again and the symptoms recurred. Isn't this quite weird!

I hate to throw out cold water, but I doubt heat is the source of flare-up. It could be the irritating smoke from frying or the physical fatigue from standing on your feet for too long. If you look up statistics, Crohn's Disease is much more prevalent in colder climate than hot climate.

Dear all, thank you. Well this has never been the case with my IBD. Something abnormal has happened and I can't figure it out. But more than 10 years ago, when I was first diagnosed with Crohn's, I couldn't stand putting a hot bottle of water on my intestines. It seems I developed some kind of heat sensitivity. I'll bring it up to my doctor's attention. May be he has an interpretation for what has happened.

Hi! While I don't think heat triggers a flare, I do know that my "thermostat" has been broken for many years. I tend to overheat with limited movement or in higher temps. Today is just 80degrees and I am weak in the heat. I can't seem to cool down from overheating without a big intervention---hose over my head or jumping in a cool shower.
I don't see it triggering a flare, but I do know the overheating happens more often and faster when I am heading into or in a flare. I also know that dehydration makes this much worse.
Hope that helps.

I've become hugely more intolerant to heat over the last decade. (Light and sound too, but that's another story.) I just wilt in hot weather - I can't cool down, no matter what I do. And during the night I often wake up covered in sweat. My room isn't hot and I only have a thin duvet. Suspect it's autoimmune or hormonal nonsense. Not looking forward to reaching the menopause, that's for sure.

But that said, I find a hot water bottle placed on my stomach pretty soothing when I have abdominal discomfort/pain.

As for the cooking, sounds like it's standing up and moving about which triggers the pain. If I cook anything, it is a certainty I will get an urge to go to the toilet at the worst possible moment.
