I still need some advise with this irrigation process.

Lately I have not been able to get more than 250cc of water in.

It stops about then and usually I pass a "lump" and all of the water.

I have a descending colostomy, and if I stay away from dairy products I very rarely have anything liquidy.

My question is, is this normal?

Do any of you take laxatives daily, or fiber supplements daily?

If I do, will this help with the irrigation?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!
