      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.

      I giggled on the outside.

      Is inside/outside giggling the missing link?

      Ok, so basically the act of ambulation (walking) increase paristalsis (movement of waste through the bowels). In layman terms, the more you move the faster your poop moves out of you.

      I have the same issue, especially after a really hard workout. It gets very annoying after awhile! :)

      How's your fiber intake? That might make a difference along with water. If you added running, maybe you need to increase your water to help everything, you know, move a little quicker. Just a thought.

      watch it on the laxative use also, long term laxative use has the opposite desired effect. Meaning it will constipate you even more. assuming you just started taking laxatives, i'm sure all is well on that front.

      When I first read this post (before the explanations)....all I heard in my head was the Minion from Despicable Me going..."Whaaaaat?"

      Well that was...interesting.

      I have the same problem with tea. Black tea or green tea, makes no odds - but infusions don't have the same effect. How does it KNOW??!
