IBS was one of my early symptoms. It is a typical ms problem that people don't talk about. A change of diet and use of Metamucil (original texture not flavored). I eat bran cereal daily and drink prune juice for occasional constipation. I always take a laxative to clean out bowel before trips. It is a terrible symptom but can be managed.

IBS is a common symptom of MS. I take one teaspoon of Metamucil ( original texture) daily and a probiotic (Phillips colon health) to keep regular.

Yes, I was getting up to pee sometimes 6x a night. Just got a prescription from neurologist for med that treats what they call lazy bladder. On for 4 days now. Had anxiety issues first morning but now used to med. only other bad side affect is really try mouth and skin. Especially lips.
Hope this helps.

I have IBS this is different. I had it before I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The problem is I'm having involuntary movements during my sleep.
