Can having ibs cause sensitivity to motion?
I have ibs and I've noticed that I'm super sensitive to movement, more so than I have been in the past. Could this possibly be caused by my digestive issues or is it something else? I do have hormonal imbalances, as well and I'm on birth contol.
There may be a connection.
Nausea is one of typical IBS symptoms.
Increased levels of certain hormones, e.g. vasoactive intestinal peptide may be also responsible for the decreased gastric tone and motility that accompany motion sickness
Increased susceptibility to motion sickness is associated with personality traits (tendermindness, subjectivity), genetic factors, left-handedness, sensitive taste, hearing and visual problems, among other things.
