What Causes Flushing On The Face Along With Body Chills?
I have been experiencing face flushing, chills and hotness. I get painful cramps followed by a bowel movement but stomach pain remains but not the cramping. I also get bloating and gas. I have been taking Miralax most evenings as directed by my doctor. If I don t take it regularly I get constipated. My stomach starts to hurt when I am hungry. The pain is subsided some by the food but not entirely. It seems to occur more in the afternoons or early evenings. I have bee diagnosed with IBS, is that what is going on. The face flushing and chills seem to be a new thing. I would appreciate any insight possible. I am presently taking Nexium once a day.
