Title: Constipation
Post by: Nomad on July 01, 2024, 06:17:49 AM
Is constipation a "thing" with Sjogren's? Perhaps especially in the summer? I very very rarely have any issue. BUT all of a sudden, this summer its a problem. Ironically, my husband has been complaining too. It is very very hot.
I am drinking more water and taking a stool softener. It is helping somewhat. Any other ideas? I don't like laxatives. Did that once a long time ago and it gave me horrendous cramps. But, I really want to know if this is something folks with Sjogren's might be more prone to. Thank you.
