Itchy skin and sensitivity to temperature.

Digestive health

I was wondering if anyone has itchy skin and sensitivity to temperature related to their IBS? 

I often itch all over my body, but most noticeably on my face and scalp. It seems to be worse in the morning, and especially if I wake up constipated. I have noticed I’m also quite itchy after drinking coke or coffee sometimes, and sometimes after a nap. It’s quite irritating sometimes. 

I also am very sensitive to temperature. In winter I’m often overly cold and shivery. Drinking cold drinks, in winter or not, also makes me feel cold and shivery. I constantly have to keep adjusting the temperature in my room and when I take showers too. 

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Hi. I haven't felt the exact same but I do feel very hot and sweaty yet my hands and feet are so cold. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes, I also experience bouts of itchy scalp and itchy skin. There doesn’t seem to any particular pattern to the bouts of itchiness. They usually last 2 weeks or so, then disappear for several weeks. I have found that antihistamines significantly reduce the irritation. I don’t know if it is related to IBS, but the itching did seem to coincide with the onset of IBS.
