I had two feet of intestine removed in September, 2023.
Still having multiple bowel movements every day. It's limited my activities to a great degree. I have experienced constipation if I have a few days without moving around.
I've tried Metamucil, Organic Psyllium and Benefiber since my surgery to try and regulate my digestive system. I find Benefiber to be the most helpful.
