The pills I am on for neuropathy cause constipation. It should say that on your medication bottle. I take two senicot at night and have changed my diet to have lots of ruffage and it works for me. Drinking lots of water helps too.
On top of all these neuropathy symptoms, I had emergency surgery last Nov for a perforation of my small intestine.
I was septic, and was in the hospital for 3 weeks, almost died.
Now since my wound infection,which took 6 mos to heal, sometimes after I eat, I get violent cramping and severe diarrhea which I can’t control.
Seems like once I’m done, diarrhea is over.
Went to a gastroenterologist and recently had bloodwork done to rule out any malabsorption probs, Celiac disease,etc.
Did not get results back yet, but I know I did suffer from constipation,prior to the diarrhea episodes.
I also don’t go at times for a week.
I sure this is all due to my neuropathy condition.
