Reply To: Digestion problems related to cidp

My GBS/CIDP started in the belly. It went on for several months and began to affect the bowels too. I believe my case of the disease was food born. Then the paralysis cut in and I became numb around the waist. It went up and down from there. The pain that came with it was more of a dull pain for me and would become worse when I became constipated from time to time.

This stomach-intestinal stage of my illness lasted about 6 months in total (3 before and 3 after GBS treatments started). It’s been gone for years now.

How long have you had the disease and your new symptoms?
