A lot of good ideas have been suggested. This bowel thing can be a constant battle. Another thing you might try is taking stool softner, Kaopectate (Docusate Calcium) one or two a day plus Citrucel caplets two twice a day. That usually works for me without causing gas. Good luck with it.

Avonexveteran, thanks for the idea about Kaopectate as a stool softener. I take Lactulose every night (2 tablespoons) but it has some dairy in it and I am lactose intolerant and it does give me gas so I only take it at night. But I thought Kaopectate was for diarrhea. I'll have to read more about it.

Boomer51, I agree with you about the broccoli and grapes. But I take grape juice every night with my Lactulose. It helps. I also eat raisins. That helps as well. I eat the organic raisins.

ezone,
You're right Kaopectate is for diarrhea. I meant to say
Surfak (Docusate Calcium) not Kaopectate.

I can relate to your problem but I don't have a solution as to how to feel better. I just ignore it and it goes away on its own.

Just another ms indignity. My problem is bladder dysfunction. However I force myself to eat high fiber foods to avoid bowel issues. This is especially difficult since my favorite food groups are ice cream, peanut butter, and Taco Bell.
