Colon Resection for Diverticulitis and Chronic Constipation

My surgeon offered the standard recommendations of more fiber, more water, stay active. I have had colon resection so for all intents and purposes, I no longer have diverticulitis. He removed 7 inches of my sigmoid colon. He told me I need to "manage" the constipation, but could not tell me if this is going to be a life long problem. It's very distressing.

I am having the same issues with constipation and laxatives aren't working. Was told not to "insert" anything so don't know what to do

In discussions surrounding "stomach" problems ie; Constipation, etc, it shows that by comparison to other medical issues, current American Medical folks do not have curative-type answers. Looks like we are "on our own" to find solutions to Gastrological issues.
