Inverse between upset stomach/digestion and symptoms

Over the three years since I contracted this syndrome I have noticed a strange but very apparent relationship. Whenever I eat some food that disagrees with me, I experience loose stools and some level of stomach cramping. Often this brings about a big surge in libido.

I find it odd that this is the case, and I don’t really want to speculate as to why it is, however I do wonder whether it somehow is a result of stimulation of the nervous system, or perhaps, even more far-fetched, the disruption to digestion may reduce the byproducts manufactured by intestinal flora, perhaps components of which are causing some level of adverse effect.

Has anybody else noticed this connection between an upset stomach and symptoms of PFS?
