PROBLEM WITH BOWEL MOVEMENTS

[diguilio]

HI

I AM HAVING A LOT OF BAD BOWEL MOVEMENT. IT IS HARD AND DISGUISING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO....IS THIS TYPICAL WITH MS? HOW DO I TRY TO FIX IT?

You may be having the same problems that a lot of us have. It is not unusual to have bladder problems and bowel problems, as well. You need to drink about 2 or 3 quarts of water daily. I am juicing a lot of fruits and veggies. You can try to use Miralax daily. You should be limiting your meat protein and eating more fruits and veggies. You could increase your magnesium by taking a supplement (400mgs) daily. Good luck

many of the drugs we take are constipating. extra fiber from foods and lots of fluids. then you can go with foods like prunes and apricots. or you can add more fiber through Metamucil type things. Some people have luck with taking probiotics which are in your yogurts but you can get it in pills also

Hi diguilio,

You might try using (daily) Metamucil and a stool softener.

Start paying attention to what you eat and when you have the problem

Dietary supplements : magnesium and also flaxseed oil

all good sugestions

I would go with the more natural stuff, before medications.

fruits and vegetables, eating the skins on as many as you can

less protein, especially cheese

activity as much as u can with in your limitations

drink the 2-3 quarts of water that you can

magnesium suppliment works just as well if not better then metamucil or mirilax or softener.

Alll of those need the water to work.
