A member asked:
I had a full body massage tonight and then urgently had to use the bathroom twice (loose stool) is this related to my massage? (i have ibs but felt fine prior to massage)

Massage, especially: of the intetinal area, can triggger perestalsis. Continue to be monitored by your doc because you have a GI disorder but otherwilse it'ls likely to be from massage. Peace and good health.

May be not: Massage usually does not cause diarrhea. May be IBS vs something else causing the problem.
