Please excuse my ignorance, but in all honesty, since I don't have a diagnosis, I suspect, you might be able to help me explain something to my new Neurosurgeon at my appt. tomorrow.
I have not been diagnosed with anything yet. Other than my G.I. Doc telling me that this is what is happening, & it is an MS symptom, and also telling my former Neuro, and the the Neuro not getting it.

It is my understanding that after the water content of the stools is removed in the lower colon that the hard stools irritates the lining of the colon and stimulates a reaction that causes the sphincter nerves to relax and initiate an evacuation reflex movement.
In MS folks this does not happen because the nerves are not working properly.
Vinpocetine aids nerve conduction to smooth muscles.
