Hi @thull
Thanks for checking in with us. I'm sorry to hear of the pain you have been experiencing. I understand it though. I'm glad that the ER gave you some help with the pain and that you are on antibiotics now. That really helps.
I understand the struggle with low residue and trying to get enough fiber to be helpful. There is a product called Smooth Move tea which can be quite helpful in keeping regular and has a less dramatic effect than laxatives.
Has anyone provided any instructions for the low residue/fiber issue? It is a dilemma, isn't it?

I have heard of Smooth Move tea. I will have to try it. The only thing the dr said after the colonoscopy was I can start introducing some more fiber into my diet, and they would go over it at my follow up appt. problem is, when they sent me the info on the appointment, it is not until Feb 11th, which does me no good now. The dietician had put me on iron because I was anemic and said I might need to take stool softener , but that is almost as harsh as the laxitive. The tea might be a good alternative. Thanks for suggesting it. I am sure now that this is going on they might move up the Feb appt. Hope you have a great rest of the week!
