Ughhh!!! For me, this is the worst symptom I've been experiencing. The rest is manageable so far, but the constipation is killing me. Is anyone else having this issue and if so, have you found a food that helps you through? I'm trying to stay away from taking fiber, because the stomach cramps are not something I want to experience alongside ms.
Re: Constipation
Drink apple juice EVERYDAY!
Applesauce seems to help. Apple juice, too or you could go the medicated route.
Good luck!

Yours doesn't have to be a sad story
not sure how long you have or if you have been taking prenatals but the iron can make you constipated.
A bowl of Fiber One frosted shredded wheat or Fiber One Raisin Clusters and 2 prunes every morning followed by a big glass of water seem to be the magic formula for me. Any time I vary from that routine, I seem to have trouble.
