Re: Since starting Cpap I've noticed a change in bowel habits.

This topic is quite interesting as I would expect there to be less constipation after C-pap. At least that is what I was hoping.

Before I started c-pap last week, I was getting up to urinate at least 3 times per night. I thought that was making me dehydrated and thus I was having to take Milk of Magnesia in order to go. (I don't want to be dependent on the Milk of Magnesia). So, I was hoping the fact that I don't get up to urinate now that I'm on C-pap would solve the constipation issue. Now, I'm not sure what to think. I guess everyone is different though.
