Poll About Changes, (Or Not), In Bowel Habits Due To MC

Post by tex »

In an effort to gain some insight into how MC affects long term bowel habits, (after remission is achieved), I thought I'd set up this poll. Responses should be based on your routine after you achieved remission, (not during episodes of active MC reactions).

Thanks,

Tex

P S If you think I'm not listing the "correct" poll options, (IOW, no response fits your situation), please advise how I should change them.

Wayne, I don't know if I'm in remission or not. I rarely have actual D but stool firmness varies quite a bit and definitely happens more often than "before".

In the poll I answered that BMs were more often since that seemed to fit. If I answered incorrectly.............. perhaps you could change it if you think it should be different.

Shirley,

That sounds like the right selection to me.


Jill,

It doesn't matter how you treat the MC, it's the results that count.
