Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Soluble fiber and hydration

I do sweat a lot and I don't get as thirsty as I think I should especially after exercise. I can run 10 miles and then forget to drink. I never used to be like that. I was reading about chronic dehydration and how you don't feel thirsty but are actually dehydrated. You think thats true?
But anyway, yea thx those graphs are interesting. I just get this distinct feeling though after eating rice tho, maybe just becuase of the heavy sticky texture I don't know. The same thing happens when I have it with veggies if the rice is the main part of the meal. But I think with the veggies I don't feel so backed up the next day as I do if I eat just plain rice.
So is eating the only thing that causes those gi contractions, or can stress alone do that too?
I was wondering whether or not it is a good idea then to snack a lot during the day. I would think that snacking too much may trigger this response more and cause even more gas and bloating?
Have there been other studies done like this to show how different foods and conditinos affect the contractions do you know?
