I recently had an excerbation of my MS, which I thought was my IBS....the two share very similar symptoms, including constipation...it wasn't until I realized that I still had an appetite, it was not the IBS... when its IBS, either my stomach is on fire or I'm just belching, burping and farting
I was doing none of that, but I was constipated like a duck, and the usual lax were not working...my GP had mentioned stimulent drugs...
then I found a stool sofener with sennosides, a relatively mild, natural stimulent laxitive..
and it works very well, it really cleans me out...the first days it just got everything out, I mean, I felt empty....
now I just need to figure out if my slowing digestive will will speed up when the MS improves or not.
