Two years post-op and still having bowel issues

I am post op by 2 years and I still am having problems and pain. I am lucky to have a BM once a week. Sometimes that abdom. pains double me over. If you find something that helps... please let me know.

Two years post op and still having problems? oh wow that sucks, sorry to hear that... did you go see the doctor about it?

im a year post op and have bowel issues too but im the opposite i go several times a day and there loose!

i have the same problem. i drank metamucil everyday for over a year and realized it really wasn't helping anything. so now i drink a 500 ml bottle of water first thing in the morning,try to eat at least 2 servings of fruit during the day,whole grain bread or bran muffin,and still need to use laxatives occasionally. i try to aviod icecream,cheese,anything white,and calcium supplements are a no no.i had a colonoscopy done and all was fine.i have no idea why i am like this now but i know it is very uncomfortable at times and i feel like i cant eat very much at one sitting cause it feels like my body cant keep up with digestion and i am bloated quite often. i dont know what else to do.hope we both find answers.

Ya I've tried the metamucil and didn't help a bit! Ya I feel like everything just goes right through me and sometimes even when I don't eat I'm goin and its like geez there can't be nothing in there! I've even lost some weight ehich I'm not complaining there lol but thanks for the advice! Keep in touch!
