Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?

I’m wondering if anyone is taking a fibre supplement like Metamucil? I’m 4 weeks out now and my doctor has told me I should take Fibre every day for the rest of my life. I’m nervous to start so soon but in the other hand perhaps it helps?

Hello @kathyoung,

If you have concerns about the doctor's directions perhaps you can call the office and speak with his nurse. She might be able to put your mind at ease.

Most people who have surgery on the digestive tract find fiber supplements like Metamucil to be helpful.

Have you ever take a fiber supplement previously?
