You do have to keep a sense of humor about such things. I had to also chuckle that this post was hidden in the "ladies room" of the Board!!
I have struggled with constipation my whole life but everything has gotten much harder (no pun intended) with M.S. for sure. I have learned to force feed myself raw vegetables that I can't stand, and drink my Metamucil(which really tastes pretty good if you ask me). Of course walking most every day helps. Inactivity really hurts (geeze, again no pun intended!) the whole situation.
I also take Probiotics for whatever that's worth. One additional trick I learned after having a baby and being more constipated than ever (probably due to the fear of bursting my stitches) was to remove the shower head and point the nozzel up my poop chute. Probably like an enema, but there the thing was, in the tub (gross), but you can clean your tub and nobody need know.
