BOWELS

Primary progressive MS
21

Well I keep things loose enough with Laxido/Movicol plus the right foods (figs are good) but I need help starting. I was hoping the irrigation system would do that, so I wouldn’t need suppositories anymore. Doesn’t seem to work. Back to using a glycerin suppository this morning, all worked fine within 5 mins as usual.

I have an exercise routine from my physio that I do in the mornings. I have noticed that the 15 squats while tightening my core muscles are not only helping those muscles, they also get my bowel moving!

hi all

i thank each and every one of you for all your hints and recipes.

i havnt tried them all yet but i will.

a special thanks for hoppity who came up with the mini enemas,why didnt the doctors,consultants,ms nurses

and all the rest of them tell me about them?

oh and hi mitzi,i wish i could do some squats and exercise my body,but the best i can do nowdays is get up

in the morning, wash and dress myself,it takes about two hours and thats about it,im knackered.

exercise is important if you can do it.i do try stretching my legs if i feel up to it but thats about it apart from

moving from scooter to comfy chair.the scooter is a little whispa that gets me around the house i would be

lost without it.

thanks again for your imput, any information is helpful.

kind regards den

Sounds like the mini enemas did the trick I cant tell how good I am now I discovered them, I take stuff to ease my muscles and they ease my bowels I used to go once a week after much difficulty now once or twice daily
