I don't know why a Neuropathy question has appeared in my feed, but I'm sorry you've gone a day without a reply. Apparently, one of the symptoms of PN is "diarrhoea, constipation, or incontinence related to nerve damage in the intestines or digestive tract". A full list of the symptoms can be found at this link:

It's a high-quality source. All the best.

Hello Orange.

I've been struggling with the bowels to no end this past year. I can go, and it's what I call Trotsky Terence in charge, then Constipation Conrad the next visit. I have a catheter that takes care of the bladder painfully. I just accept it as how it is nowadays, always opposite extremes. The District nurse seemed to think it was to be expected.

I hope things improve for you, all the bestest.
