Hi Tony,

Sorry to hear about further problems... yes, neuropathy can affect your bowels - doesnt have to be auto-immune - but PN can damage the nerves that affect the motility of your stomach and/or intestines and colon... Good idea to have a colonoscopy to rule out any other stuff - but "motility" issues caused by neuropathy typically dont show in an endoscopy (for stomach) or colonoscopy - so if that comes up clean - I'd try to find a good GI motility specialist (they are a challenge to find).... there are meds that can help.. hang in there
