I'd like to know how other survivors deal with constipation

Manasul classic tea sold at Amazon.. After my surgery I suffered from chronic constipation I bought this tea on Amazon one tea bag every evening before bedtime never again suffer from constipation.

six ounces of Prune Juice at bedtime works like a charm, try it.

Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for your responses. Greatly appreciated.

Ducolax.

I follow a Whole food plant based diet. I #NEVER# have an issue with constipation.

I'm glad you asked this question, as it seems like my BMs are very different from pre-surgery. I have assumed it is because I am drinking less fluids to deal with my incontinence, but I will try some of these things others suggested too.

I use a probiotic recommended by an ER nurse when I was dehydrated by diarrhea. I’d ask a nurse or a nutritionist for a good one. I also take one or two stool softeners daily and I eat one package of Metamucil crackers with breakfast. It’s been working for me so far for constipation. And I drink plenty of water. If I go a couple of days without a BM I use a script I have for Lactulose with everything else.

I struggled with constipation and hiccups for a year after chemo
My doctor finally said to me you have to drink at least 15 oz of water every morning before any other intake and a bit of high Fiber cereal then wait 1/2 hour before anything else to eat during the 1/2 hour exercise such as walking
It took a couple of weeks be for it seemed any better, then it worked all the time
My doctor says it is dehydration nothing else
She was right and I am very thankful

My personal opinion is that the placement/ insertion of the robotic arms affects us all differently.
My Gastro had done 4 colonoscopies prior to surgery. After complaining about inability to have normal BM’s he did another; he said my intestine now seemed “very tortuous”… in other words, extra loops or twists - that has to affect something I would imagine.
Who knows how all the fascia heals after it’s over?
