This may seem a little strange, but I was wondering had anyone on here had trouble with severe constipation as a result of EBV?

@smcivor94 I have not had an issue with that. However Kasia Kines discusses a vagus nerve and EBV hypothesis. Since the intestinal tract relies on the vagus nerve, it can become impaired. (The Epstein-Barr Virus Solution, pp 61-62)

Yes! Soon after I was diagnosed I had a severe problem. I hadn’t changed my diet any, I have always eaten mostly a plant based diet and drank plenty of water so I was puzzled as to why this would happen. What I didn’t take into account was that my physical activity level had changed a great deal. I went from being a very active person to one who was on bed rest. The constipation was severe.
