Has anyone experience continuous constipation, seemingly/definitely caused by neuropathy? Thank you, Charles

I use Benefiber or Walmart brand every day. Seems to work, may have diarrhea once a month. Also have neurogenic bladder for 10+ yrs- do self cath 4×day as I'm unable to empty my bladder.

I was seeing a functional doctor for constipation post chemo for breast cancer. She recommended a magnesium supplement called “Calm.” Hope it helps.
