Digestion problems with POIS

[haidcat]

Hello, along with the already debilitating symptoms I encounter with POIS. I also have several digestive issues. My problem is I don't know whether these digestive issues come from POIS or if they are a separate issue. So I was wondering if anyone could post on here the specific digestive issues they get from POIS, if any. Thank you very much.

We're all a little different in this too.

I used to get acid reflow, the whole area between the stomach and the throat would get sensitive like strong heartburn. Usually that was accompanied by the whole chestbone area feeling sore and sensitive.

Id also get poor digestion,  food would sit like a lump in my stomach. Other get the runs and abdominal tract cramps and pains.

This seems to last about 3 or 4 days, starting about the 2nd day.

Others have reported this symptom -- sort of like an Irritable Bowel Syndrome sensation. I've never experienced this myself as a symptom of POIS. It may be related, but it's tough to say. Unfortunately, trial and error is probably the best test. I recommend keeping a record of your symptoms following orgasm and see if a pattern emerges.

Does anyone find that an inflamed anus sensation/swollen prostate feeling/tightened anal sphincter muscle arises? I list all three, because I dont know which is occuring, but after orgasm I feel a definite tightening down in that area, and it definitely contributes towards constipation for me.

Yes I do, with a tremendous itching as well.

I get stomach cramps, colon inflammation and diarrhea.  Which makes me wonder if we got both histamine intolerance and allergy to our semen.
Look up, histamine intolerance http://lsialab.com/gb/Histamine_Intolerance_Test

This theory may explain why some appear to be positive on allergy tests and get better with desensitization.

Although I wish that it is not allergy and that it can be cured some other way because desensitization is basically a Russian roullete. Last time I underwent one (for different allergens), I obtained a violent asthma.

YES...I have all those symptoms listed. I too am wondering where to start to locate if this is a POIS issue or IBS/Muscle/Nerve etc. issue. but all I can tell you is this NEVER goes away, for me anyways, and the "fogginess" symptoms varied a bit. but not the gut symptoms. please elaborate if you know anything that helps this...I've tried almost everything over the years, including niacin lastnight...still feel like crap today!
