I've had MS for 20 years. My constipation went away when I swithed to a more meat-based carnivore diet. The higher fat I am eating helps, not fiber. I don't use meds for this.

[@marybethcully5883]

Thanks love the connection to your bowels explanation…my bowels are complicated from the ms and have been even more challenging since I switched to Aubagio. I hadn’t thought about training my bowels but from this I did realize that I feel most comfortable when my bowels move every other day…now instead of worrying I can observe and train…😊

I'm so happy this was helpful!

Two things that have helped me: 1 - Taking fiber supplements daily 2 - Jumping for short periods of time on a mini-trampoline with a handle

Hi Dr. Gretchen. A few years ago I had a lot of trouble with my bowels exploding. It was very messy and frequent. I finally figured out how to get back control. 1. I cut back on coffee and beer. 2. I started wearing suspenders. Having a BELT tight around your waist squishes all your internal organs. Everything is fine now.

I'm on stool softener as well as philips milk of magnias, i take pills as opposed to liquid, works better for me, i have bowl movement about 3 times a week, I'm going to start taking more fiber.

My gluten and core have been on a vacation for a long time. Would it be fine to use these exercises to bring them back home?

[@DoctorGretchenHawley]

absolutely! Glute and core strengthening is always helpful, even if you’re unable to feel the muscles activate at first since you haven’t used them in a while.
