Is There Stomach Issues With Having MG?

Imodium controls the situation. It has helped! Give it a try. Follow the directions. After taking it for quite a while, I can now take one tablet every few days and you will know when you should. Just a suggestion.

My wifes intestinal issues are really bad. She suffers from uncontrolled diarrhea after taking Mestinon. The only partial relief comes from eating home made rice pudding made from short grain rice (the type used for Sushi). It helps absorb excess excess fluid as it passes through the digestive system.

I had my gall bladder out right before I was diagnosed. Between that and the mestinon my stomach is bad. I spend the first few hours of the day in the bathroom. By 10 or 11 am I’m doing better. Doesn’t seem to matter what I eat. Could be yogurt and granola, a bagel or anything else. Doesn’t make a difference.
I try not to make appointments early in the day. Thankfully I can do that.

Which doc is prescribing all those medications? I am dreading even going to a neurologist if that’s what they do, because I do not do well on meds. I use eyedrops three times a day and my one metoprolol pill. Can’t even imagine doing more. Hope I never have to. At my age, there isn’t much of a purpose to do so. I can dream!!!😁
