Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Hi Krista, It is my understanding that diarrhea could be a symptom of a bowel impaction, which is common in MSA patients. The bowels will get impacted ,and only let water through. If her neurologist is not up on MSA, she should go to a GP or gastroenterologist and see if she possibly has impacted bowels. My husband controls with lots of water and a daily dose of miralax. But she needs to be checked out. She could get VERY dehydrated, or even an infection, which is extremely dangerous for MSA patients. Good luck. Maciejewski diarrhea and MSA + miraculous cure for MSA Hi everyone Do any of you know anything about diarrhea and what to do about it? My mother has had diarrhea for a couple of weeks now. Apparently it isn't caused by any bacteria(has been checked)Could it be caused by MSA(since the disease paralyses muscles, I guess intestines could be " paralysed " as well causing diarreha) Do any of you know anything about this/have any ideas about what to do? My mother was given Baclofen before this, but was advised by her neurologist to stop as Baclofen can cause diarreha. So far stopping has not improved the situation.
