Abstract: Constipation and faecal incontinence are considered a common problem in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with a significant impact on their quality of life. Constipation is often regarded as the infrequency of bowel movements when in fact involves several symptoms and factors that vary in intensity from one patient to another. Therefore an individualized approach to constipation would be always recommended since a combination of factors such as poor diet, reduced or lack of physical activity and depression may affect the digestive system of people with MS. Medications and supplements may also contribute to constipation, considerably affecting patients' quality of life. Elucidating nutritional factors that affect constipation in patients with MS will be the topic for this clinical audit.
