I believe IBS can cause afib. Many times I get cramping and have exessive bowel movements (like 8-10 a day) and I take an Imodium, I go into afib later in the evening. I thought it was from the Imodium, but I think it is because my potassium goes under 4.0 from the excessive bowel movements. When I get to ER, my potassium is always like 3.8 and if you have afib, they like your potassium to be over 4.0.
