MS and stomach issues?

Hi. Does anyone have any stomach issues? Is it because of MS? I have had many stomach issues for years but recently it’s gotten worse. Symptoms include bloating,cramping,discomfort,burning, constantly going to the bathroom, loose stools sometimes diarrhea. I also feel like every time I eat something I have to run to the bathroom. Going to the bathroom a lot during the day or being afraid you won’t make it to the bathroom. Is it all in my head or does this stuff really happen to people with MS.

Probiotics to improve your gut health should help.Cut as much sugar and highly processed food from your diet. Autoimmune disease is caused by poor gut health.

Hi maybe try to cut out all foods that contain gluten for a couple of weeks. As this often causes the irritations you have mentioned.Also go to chemist and grab some drugs for IBS, like buscopan to help ease your symptoms x
