Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Even if the stools are loose you may still have accumulated waste in the colon. And having IBS, colon issues are definitely present. I would work to resolve the colon issues and you could also try supplementing your diet with magnesium. Some think restless leg syndrome could be caused by food allergies as well as stress. Some other supplements to try are folic acid, evening primose oil, black currant oil and borage oil, B vitamins, and Vitamin E. To address the IBS if there are any foods in particular you are sensitive to I would remove those from your diet (at least temporarily until your issue is resolved), take digestive enzymes to enhance digestion, build up the healthy bacteria in your colon by taking a probiotic supplement, and I can also recommend a particular fiber supplement made for people that suffer from IBS. If you'd like more information, please feel free to e-mail me. I would work on the IBS and see if this resolves the RLS.

I have both restless leg syndrome (severe case) as well as IBS. I do not have the kind of IBS that alternates between constipation and loose stools but the latter all of the time. I have tried fiber treatment and have had no success. If the leg issue is related to a sluggish colon what would cause it in my case? > > mnewport wrote: Restless leg syndrome is related to a sluggish colon. Get the bowels > moving and this will help.

I have Restless Leg Syndrome. For the last week and a half, this has been keeping me from getting much needed sleep. Plus, I get very irritable and the pain from fibro and having my knee replaced, is so much worse. I know there is a drug for it but I am already on so many prescriptions, that I just do not want anymore. > > Thanks in advance, > > Magick > > > > I was going to give up chocolate..... > > but I'm no quitter!! > > > > > > > > Talk is cheap.
