About MsLisa

I am Lisa. A mom of 2, a wife, an advocate for anyone whom needs help, and a woman with MS. I am a grandma so I feel I need to make sure the world is more understanding of people with disabilities for my grandsons sake, my son's sake, and for mine. I am a fighter and will not be satisfied until there is a change made in our world. People with illnesses or disabilities are not treated fairly or even taken seriously. I may have MS as all of you do but that does not make us stupid or gullible. See, I told you I was a fighter. :

About Constipation

Individuals may experience constipation as a result of immobility, leg weakness, changes in diet (less fiber), or a decrease in drinking fluids. Constipation is defined not only by how frequently you move your bowels, but also by whether the stools are hard, dry or difficult to pass.
