Gabapentin and constipation?

I understand that some side effects are normal per some meds, but did anyone else have stomach issues on Gabapentin? I had someone guess I may have gastroparesis earlier, it was not much of an issue before but with the Gabapentin I am having issues. Also, anyone with constipation on Gabapentin, did anything help?

I did not get constipation from gabapentin-but tegeretol and trileptal they were unbelieveable.Nothing worked and the drugs did not do anything for my pain.
One day I went for a walk on a trail in the bush and finally had to “go”.When I looked at what I need to cover up the first thing my brain did was try and figure what animal left a thing that was a meter long-that animal was me.
I get what you are talking about.
If the gabapentin works for you then I am wondering whether senna tea would help.
Otherwise I would stop.

Thank you for the laugh, as well as your input and the Senna thing is definitely an option. I know they can be habit forming so I will ask my doctor next month, but I realized my acid reducers were partially to blame. I can relate to your story for sure !
