Fiber and constipation   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #863 of 1373 |
I am wondering about what to do if you still have constipation
problems after reconnection? Not much left of the colon after 5
surgeries. But taking fiber supplement, tons of fruits and veggies and
not sure what else will help with this? Anyone find anything that helps
out with this. Very afraid of a rupture of what is left if the
constipation persists. Tried some laxatives and juices and not sure .
Have to find another dr our insurance changed and cannot see the one
who did the surgeries. Trying to work somethign out with them so we can
at least follow up one more time tho. What foods do you find will hurt
you plus on lots of meds also and I know these can contribute to the
problems. If trying to use bathroom have to strain a lot and not good.
Cramping feeling all the time and feel like have to use the bathroom
and then cannot. Sorry to sound sick if you feel i am but this is a
serious thing we need some help and figure if you all have had this
then wherer else is the best place but here to ask for help.
Experienced friends. Thanks so much for taking the time to read our
request. Carla and Lonnie
