Dear Patti and everyone,
I want to thank you all for your kind replies. A lot of my bathroom issues are stress related, besides tm and the stress it causes. I am trying to get a handle on the stress..easier said than done. I greatly appreciate all of your suggestions. Wishing everyone Happy Holidays! Kevin Patricia Cooley wrote:

I don't know if it was a result of some of my meds, but I have found that if I take a daily acidophilus tablet each morning I am O.K. I am also the type of person that when I become stressed out about anything, it affects my digestive system so I try not to become too stressed, if that is possible. I hope you can find some solution to your problem.

Forgive me for bothering the board again. I have nowhere else to turn right now, and I know you have all experienced most everything. Along with my recent anxiety has come digestive problems. Getting to the bathroom has also become harder because my mobility is worse. I am getting a new wheelchair for that reason. Constipation and terrible gas. Of course, this makes my tm symptoms and anxiety worse. I tried prune juice which has helped before, not this time. Gas-X helps a little. I welcome all thoughts. Kevin
