Drinking Water

Hi! I've noticed that whenever I drink water - whether room temperature or cold - I get the sudden urge to go. Just this morning I had a bit of water and had to run out of my class ten minutes later as I had a really bad flare up. I just had my infusion yesterday so I figured I'd be fine for at least a little while, but clearly not. It happens whether I drink a whole glass of water or even just a sip.

Any ideas as to what could be happening? I googled it before and came across something called peristalsis, but I'm not sure that this is the culprit. Any help would be appreciated!

Just water as far as I know.

Have you tried water at room temp? Maybe the cold is triggering it. I had a gastro doc once that told me to avoid cold water.

Nevermind. I see you already mentioned it in your first post that temp doesn't matter...

In any case, the main focus is always to get your flare under control, and then most of those weird symptoms will go away.

Eating and drinking always does that for me especially in the morning. Usually when I wake up first thing my mouth is dry so I drink water but if I gulp and don't sip I get bowel urgency.
