Can IBS cause edema in lower extremities?

Hi Kissel, If you are talking about your legs swelling, no IBS will not cause this. If your legs are swelling you need to see your dr. There are a variety of things that can cause this.

For constipation problems there are several OTC products available that can help. They do not work immediately, it can take several days but you need to drink plenty of water. Some people still use warm prune juice or will eat a few prunes every day.

Take care.
