    Gurgly tummy...Aubagio side effect?

    Been on Aubagio for 2.5 months. So far no side effects, but for the past five days my stomach has been extremely gurglely with some short medium level pain stabs in my lower right stomach area. I also seem to be visiting the bathroom fairly soon after eating, but the pains remain.

    Any thoughts?

    Well, went to the ER at 3am. I thought the pain was appendix. After CT scan, blood wrk, etc.....it was stool stuck. So DX....constipation. I really thought it might be my appendix or a kidney stone of a side effect of Aub. I am on magnesium citrate drink. But I am hoping this solves the side pain and gurgling tummy.
    Feeling a little embarrassed I went to the ER for constipation, but I didn't know.

      my tummy always is "gurgling" my MS specialist said she does not think that mine is related to MS. Then I asked my endocrinologist and was told that a lot of its patients complain about this. I do not know if these helps you or not, but it is what I found out.
      by the way, I am not on any DMD.

          I have the same feeling for 2 weeks now , I too thought it was constipation. But with different things to help me go did not help. I still have the tummy ache. It must have something to do with the medicine which I started 2 mos ago.

              Don't be embarrassed about going to the emergency room. With this awful disease I never know if it the medicine causing something that scares me; maybe it is the MS, I just don't know a lot of the time. I recently went to the emergency room for chest pain which was not my heart. I think it was an esophageal spasm but still am not sure.

              I do know we have to do the best we can to take care of ourselves and a trip to the emergency room when you have pain is nothing to be embarrassed about!

                So I did a course of I think 600mg of Motrin three times a day back in the late summer, and the pain went away. I ended up going to a urologist, as the pain got bad. And a gastro doctor. All pointed to muscle pain. And in the end, I guess it was.

                Yes, it's so hard to distinguish between side effects and illnesses and general pain.
                Ugh!
                Hope you are doing ok!
