Hi Connie,

 

I'm not a doctor so I simply can't answer your question. Has your mom been diagnosed with IBD? Constipation is not typically an IBD symptom, but could be an Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptom. With any significant change in bowel habits it really is best for her to consult with her doctor. It could be nothing, but it could be something she needs further looking into. Have her call her doctor today to make an appointment.

 

Kindly,

Elizabeth
