Do patents with ms experience floating feces?

Floating feces: Light fluffy stools are related to dietary factors, not ms, which is a disease of the brain.

NO: MS doesn't cause gastrointestinal issues directly. Floating feces might be indicative of malabsorption, but may be of no real significance. Discuss with your primary care physician.

I have been having blood in stool, had galbladder out. I have MS, dont take any narcotics. I eat healthy foods, what could be reason?
MS Contin (morphine) for 3 days for sciatica pain. Came down with severe constipation. Took laxative, anus hurts when passing stool and even at rest.Causes?
I was wondering about the possibility to have MS. MRI (0.3T, open) showed atleast 2 deep white matter lesions approx. 4 mm.
Apologies, final question about Multiple Sclerosis. If lower rated open MRIs 0.3/0.7T may miss smaller MS lesions,are they still capable of diagnosing MS at all? Is it just a case of not gold standard but can at least detect something for diagnosis?
I have a magnetic implant (LINX) that doesn't allow MRIs above 0.7T - if I needed an MRI in the future for something such as Multiple Sclerosis, are 0.7T/0.3T open MRIs reliable enough for MS? What about spinal tap? Is my only option implant removal?
