I was put on Carnitor by my neurologist, which is a natural product often recommended/rx'd for MS weakness. It did seem to help my leg strength, but it really worked best as a laxative.

I have always had bowel troubles, even as a child. The longest I've ever gone is 5 weeks without a BM, and even laxatives didn't work.

I tried metamucle, change in diet, exercise, more water, laxative . . . you name it!, and nothing helped.

My doc recommended Benefibre for the last couple of years, but I thought it was just another "waste of time" . Eventually I bought some though, and it actually worked!!

The best remedy I've found though is having my gallbladder removed. Don't have any idea what that has to do with the bowels, but I am fairly regular for the first time since I can remember.
