Having problems with message search?
Had the reconnection last July/August. Had been in awful pain but was forming small stools - doctors wanted to know that.
I have been told to take a fibre (fiber-US) supplement with at least 2.5l water per day. Drinking a half UK gallon (5 or 6 US pints) takes some doing but well worth it. No pain. No smell. No desperate urgency.
Was also recommended that if I get the attack of the runs, I take a prescription only course of Multivitamins to get back what I have lost but only for a few days after the attack stops.
Other than that, no treatment, no drugs and fighting fit.
I have noticed within this group that it is very often that women are asking questions on behalf of their husbands. Come on men, stop being pussys. Nothing emasculating about a colostomy. After all, you've got it already.
Drink plenty of water, take the fibre, drop the amount of meat (only by a little in my case) eat veg and walk, walk, walk. Work that stuff out of you.
Colostomy makes no life changes and a reversal is even better.

My hub had reconnection and is having some worries of course. He is
worried that not using the bathroom every day is a problem. What do you
all eat to keep things regular? A lot of stomach hurting on the bottom
and soreness. Is this normal? Do yuo all have this trouble after
resection? He is eating a lot of veggies and things but what else helps
keep no constipation? Carla and Lonnie
