@peterose I had a colon resection 2 years ago after a perforation due to a blockage from colon cancer resection so it’s been a process to figure out what works for my new digestive system. Before all that I could practically set my watch by my morning movement I was so regular, lol. No more though. So I use the senna tea and stool softener every week or so when I feel I need a refresh. I guess I’m pretty paranoid about allowing a build up to happen again and with the tea and softener I feel like I’m starting with a clean slate. I also like to take a probiotic capsule every evening. I know there’s way too much marketing with some crazy probiotic this and that these days but these capsules I think do help my gut biome rebuild after that trauma.

@larust8 thank for update
tumor in small intestine removed /surgeon changed to open surgery during operation after cutting into small bowel........resulting in narrow intestine and chronic constipation .....my own treatment similar to yours and lots of walking-.......I ask for some medication for hard stool which would resolve my issues but doctor appears unable /unwilling to offer something ......so i go the Metamucil /senna route like you do~~
