After my 4th surgery this year, which ended up being a Deloyers Procedure, one of the things the surgeon recommended if I needed it was Senekot. I came out of the hospital with very consistent diarrhea so it was not needed. After about 4 weeks, things started firming up and I was feeling a little bit of discomfort, so I took some and it did help. Not nearly as harsh as a laxitive. I am also doing a yogurt probiotic daily as I am not digesting pills very well. All the potassium pills they gave me in the hospital came out in the toilet completely whole days 3 & 4 post discharge. Freaked me out, but at least I knew small hard things were making it out.
Still being careful, eating easy to digest foods, eggs, pancakes, applesauce, etc and drinking high protein Boost. But if I start feeling like it is getting hard to go I will take the Senekot. I hope you feel better. And I am now 7 weeks post Deloyers procedure.
