Toilet help!

Sorry to ask about going to the loo but I need to know if it’s normal. This is my third week on tecfidera tablets twice a day. Does anyone’s else have problems with the runs? I’ve had it for 15 hours Yesterday and just started today again. I’ve taken Imodium but hasn’t touched it. If anyone has any help that would be amazing and sick of running to the loo now and I can’t leave the house.

Hi @rebeccar07. Have you changed your diet to accommodate the tablets? This can sometimes happen. You should definitely see your doctor to rule out a stomach bug though. Also, there are loads of sphincter exercises online which can help strengthen things longer term. Good luck!

Hi @rebeccar07, I had this issue a couple of times in the first month. I'm in week 10 now. On the while I've been very fortunate with gastro side effects. I tried to stick to the protein foods and timings suggested. I probably ate too many eggs which didn't help the situation according to my GP. Hope you get some answers and it works out for you. I'd definitely recommend you see your GP.
