Hi. You are right that medications for multiple sclerosis may cause constipation and another factor is being bed ridden. Your colonic motility is decreased due to your Illness. My suggestion is drink plenty of water and start taking laxative regularly. Use movicol sachet. 1 sachet in 200 ml of water thrice a day.  It will completely evacuate your bowel.
Next Steps
avoid spicy and oily food
