I go 6 to 7 times a day. Sore but does not fully explain the pain I live with daily. 3 bath tub soaks daily help a ton.

I just read your comment. It has been just over a year since my laparoscopic robotic colon resection and I still have 4-7 bowel movements over a 24 hour period. I was told it would take about a year to go back to normal but I am not normal and am frustrated. I no longer have the urgent, diarrhea explosions of before but sometimes my stool is thin, pencil thin strips or small clumps. Other times, it is fairly normal in size and consistency. Wish I could say away from doctors but am making an appt with my gastroenterologist.
