10 Early Warning Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis in Children

5. Constipation

If your child begins to experience constipation, especially after having had a history of pretty regular bowel movements, then this may also be something to consider as yet another early symptom of multiple sclerosis. Of course, having a constipated child is not an immediate reason to automatically jump straight to thoughts of MS, but coupled with multiple other symptoms, it may be a case for concern, along with experience of very long and labored bowel movements. Weight gain and a feeling of being bloated could also be similar symptoms that are related to constipation and perhaps connected to multiple sclerosis.
