Just and FYI, but interesting,that it causes the gut to leak bacteria toxins.

Interesting. I believe it is gary who always posits a link between high intensity exercise and people complaining about IBD symptoms.

I used to jog quite a bit but now do mostly body weight exercises like yoga. If there is a link between facial expressions and running/fast jogging then it is definitely not good for you. When I see people running around my neighborhood they have the facial expression of one on the torture table most times.

If extreme exercise=blood poisoning I will be safe forever ha.
Am slightly addicted to senior pickle ball but that involves periods of standing and talking before re-entering the fray. I hate running without a ball involved (kinda like a dog).

Over the years I have noticed so many IBDers on this forum not only exercise frequently, but before their disease many worked out to the extreme such as running races and marathons, etc. There seems to be more jocks than couch potatoes here.

Anything "extreme" isn't good, I sure hope this doesn't deter people from practicing regular daily exercise because it has many health benefits, overdoing anything isn't good (well maybe just one thing, but I won't say what lol) anyways, I don't plan on doing any marathons or exercising to the point like I'm going to be doing a marathon either.

Doing some yoga, cardio and weights are very beneficial not just physically but mentally it's huge especially with a chronic illness, with caution of course, you have to pay attention and listen to your body as I'm sure the article has some merit to it....common sense is key!

Well, this is the killer....
extreme exercise isn't good for those with autoimmune issues, since it revs up the body and can easily trigger a reaction, be it small or more severe. Building up to moderation seems a good plan. Common sense.

I don't know if that is an accurate description of my observations but I have observed that people who are in a particular training lifestyle seem to come to this forum on a regular basis. I believe the connection has more to do with the food and drink concoctions they consume rather than the actual exercising itself.

Ya, I don't think extreme is good for anyone, in the article it mentioned, anything over four hours of exercise and repetitive days of endurance exercise is considered extreme...also the mention of exercising in extreme heat and also the mention of this being the first study done in this regard so there's lots of variables to consider as well....but bottom line IMO is the focus on "extreme" use common sense and good judgement.

I like to encourage people to be as physically active as they can, it's important for bowel function and so many other physical health too and is a great benefit for mental/emotional health and all the stresses connected to life, not a cure by any means of course, but any help is better than none.

Don't see this as something to worry about - the article states 'anything over four hours of exercise and repetitive days of endurance exercise is considered extreme'

That really is extreme, there are not many people healthy or otherwise out there doing that level of exercise. I do an hour in the gym 3 times a week which is reasonable I think.

I've always been active and exercised to some extent. I got dx'd with UC after about 6 months of Crossfit. I don't feel like they're related, but it's an interesting coincidence, at least.
