Bowel problems
Hello everyone, I am a newbie, am not to comfortable about writing about this.One of my MS symptoms for years was constipation & was prescribed laxatives until last December 2023 & then everything changed to mostly diarrhrea colic & trapped wind & since then has made my life worse then it was already I had a colonoscopy only because I had a abnormal bowel smear & it was polyps, I asked the Dr what to take & he said anything for IBS.
To datI I have taken prescribed Mebevrine mint capsules, peppermint syrup, peppermint oil, peppermint tea,,buscopan, I find deflatine the most helpful. I have been a detective on my diet.
I have cancelled appointments as I visit the loo between 15-20 times a day.
Is there anybody out there who suffers from this ?
One of my most obnoxious symptoms is loose bowels and often need to go urgently. Sometimes I have extremely limited warning. I was prescribed Loperamide which does help. But I also have Co-codamol for pain and thankfully that helps control it to a certain degree. I have no experience with polyps though. I’ve had Mebeverine in the past for IBS, but found they just helped to control the cramps and didn’t help with the urgency or loose bowels.
No but if I did I would take Acidophilus
