What are the classic gastrointestinal symptoms that accompany epilepsy, especially complex partials? I ask because I had two colonoscopies 2 years apart because of ongoing gastrointestinal issues and lots of other GI tests, and nothing ever showed.
Specifically, I haven't had a normal bowel movement for probably 10 years, maybe longer. My stools are always some shade of yellow or orange (rarely brown anymore), usually either fatty and tubular or gloppy in appearance (never a 'clean wipe' anymore). And it almost feels as if my digestion stops cold and my gallbladder fails to release?
What's really interesting though is that the night before my last seizure, I actually heard my gallbladder release for the first time in weeks. And then I woke up with memory problems the next morning and suffered several seizures that day.
Anybody else with gastro symptoms?
