    Is it wrong that I giggled on the inside at this?

    Ok...whenever I work my calves it activates my colon. Its annoying as h***. Doesn't matter if its a brisk walk or doing calf raises at the gym.

    Libraries and book stores will generate the same result.

    Unh...I had to read this one twice and laughed, but I actually think that I have some light to shed on this. (I think my brain is just full of bits of unrelated trivia sometimes...)

    Your lymph system is tied to the calves - when you walk and/or move around, the calf muscles push lymph fluid around the body - jeez, I hope I'm remembering this correctly - and the colon is the way you cleanse all of it out?

    Gah - that sounded like a total reach to me. I think a massage therapist told me this once. It's why being sedentary is so bad - no movement of the lymph system, none of the trash gets taken out.

    I figured the only relationship was actually eating a calf and it goes through your colon..............................

    I am having the opposite problem, since I started running, I am only having a BM once a week, and that's only after I take a laxative.

    At least your colon is moving.

    Is inside/outside giggling the missing link?
