    Abd pain

    Anyone here have abdominal pain, bloating and other stomach problems. Been in the hospital twice with severe abd pain and haven't been diagnosed with anything. I have not had abd problems before but after reading more MS symptoms can be from the intestines. Have an appointment with GI doc Friday. Please help so I can tell the doctor. Thanks

    I frequently get bad cramps after eating . I read that MS and IBS can occur together so I believe this is my problem. The issues with my bowels are the worst symptoms that I have. There is not much I have been able to do about it. I take something for the gas cramps but it doesn't always work. I too would appreciate any other ideas.

      I’m so sorry you have had to go to the hospital for stomach trouble. I sure hope it’s not anything serious.

      i don’t know whether MS causes bloating and other stomach problems. We do know that it can slow down the intestinal track and cause constipation.

      Since I got MS I haven’t been able to eat as many fruits and vegetables because it causes cramping. Before, I could eat a whole grocery store full of produce and be fine. So I guess I can concur that there is some relationship.

        I wake up with gas and the need to have a bowel movement. Sometimes this happens in the middle of the night. I have IBS. In 2008 I had emergency surgery to correct a blockage. They took about 6 inches of small bowel out. So I don't think I will ever be the same as before that surgery. In my case, I don't think that had anything to do with MS. The blockage was due to previous surgeries..... scar tissue. Hope you get some good advice from your appointment.

          I read that peppermint oil capsules help with the gas and pain, and I don't eat spicy foods and eat very little. I take it daily and also drink peppermint tea. It helps.

            I’ve heard peppermint capsules help with it, too. Thanks for reminding me. I think I will order some right now.
