I had an ileostomy takedown about
three weeks ago. I am doing very well for the most part but I am having trouble getting my trips to the bathroom regulated and working properly. I had the ileostomy for 3 months after colon surgery.
I was very lucky, I never did have diareah. I am only taking metamucel once a day, nothing else. It seems if I don't take some MOM, I have trouble getting things to move. I eat pretty much everything. I am trying not to push because I don't want anything to break inside.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to get things moving on a steady basis?
Thanks to all!
Ron
