  • Constipation and slow motility relief

    I had a lot of responses to my column about slow motility and constipation. Readers suggested everything from high-fiber cereal, flax, chia seeds, medical specialists, pelvic floor physical therapy, and an electro-stimulating device. I knew I wasn’t the only one experiencing bowel incontinence, but apparently, this is a concern for a lot of people with multiple sclerosis.

    What are your thoughts on what works for you and what doesn’t?

    i m so glad to read your post. I have no peristalsis ( motility) in my esophagus , a very sluggish GI Track and a recent liquid stool which just ended a two month spell. My abdomen is always distended, painful and burning. All tests WNL. If i could only manage my BM frequency but the nerves are failing. I have tried everything. Exercise is tough as independence is slacking.
